Connecting aws via putty sudo yum question?

[Perrybeard82]

So I'm attempting to set up a VPS (aws) and whist trying to connect to it via putty I'm getting the command to run sudo yum? Which is something I've never heard of. Do I need to install sudo yum or is there a work around?
So far I run putty enter my key and the public DNS for my instant and click open it starts to boot up then comes up with the line run sudo yum?
This might be a stupid question as I'm new to using putty and VPS and awg ect but can't find nothing about sudo on here so thought I would ask

sudo means Super User Do

yum is a command to install a package, for example: yum install firefox

To run a command as root (super user in linux) : sudo yum install firefox

Check tutorials for centos as that is what you currently have.

Search for your exact OS and what type of server you're trying to set up on https://www.digitalocean.com/ and follow it step-by-step

First of all, which OS are you using?
YUM is for CentOS
APT-GET is for Debian / Ubuntu
pacman is for Arch Linux, and so forth.

That is the package manager.

Please don't start with AWS if you are newbie, start with DigitalOcean or other similar.

Will you setup a website on that vps or use it for something else? I setup few vps's with free Cpanel kind of interface. Though emails doesn't work.

Its because you installed vestacp and forgot to properly set ssl and dovecot/exim settings.

The os of the laptop is windows but the instant (vps) aws uses is Linux
Is digital ocean better or just easier to get to grips with for a newbie? And thank you for the advice

was going to use it to run rankerx for my t2 and 3 links

Yes i installed vestacp=) I guess you might be right i guess i setup ssl too but there was a problem with dovecot. After that i searched their forums but all i could find was they won't allow u to send email because u should use Amazon ses or contact them to allow email access for your vps? Isn't that true?

Mate just install windows vps if you will use Rankerx. You have 1 free Windows and 1 Free Linux usage limit. BUT don't forget to use good anonymous proxies bec they will cancel your account after u get a lot of complaints.

Happens at all instalations of vestacp.. Not sure why. I think you can send email using amazon aws but cant confirm. Not much info is available on how to fix it, I did it myself and noted it down (obviously had to reinstall few times as I fuckd up vestacp installations).

Yeah i had to reinstall it a few times too=)) But isn't vestacp great too?=)) It has easy script installer and stuff really liked it as a freebie. So you can send emails from that server? I ve read that they disallow it for stopping spam. And the only way is to contact support and ask them to allow pop/smtp . I am not sure though.

Yes sure, it is easier and cheaper, try Vultr.
You choose the OS and start from zero. But look at the great guides https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials
