Still Stuck On Step 4 on Creating a Hyperledger Fabric Blockchain Network Using Amazon Managed Blockchain

Question

Dear Community,

Sorry, I'm not a Tech-Savvy and I'm desperately need help for the following problem I've encountered using the CloudShell CLI on Step 4 --> https://docs.aws.amazon.com/managed-blockchain/latest/hyperledger-fabric-dev/get-started-create-client.html

Below are the following problems:

sudo service docker start
sudo: service: command not found
[cloudshell-user@ip-10-4-189-71 ~]$ sudo docker version
Client:
 Version:           20.10.23
 API version:       1.41
 Go version:        go1.18.9
 Git commit:        7155243
 Built:             Tue Apr 11 22:56:36 2023
 OS/Arch:           linux/amd64
 Context:           default
 Experimental:      true
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

sudo usermod -a -G docker ec2-user@ec2-44-203-175-15.compute-1.amazonaws.com
usermod: user 'ec2-user@ec2-44-203-175-15.compute-1.amazonaws.com' does not exist
[cloudshell-user@ip-10-4-189-71 ~]$ sudo usermod -a -G docker ec2-44-203-175-15.compute-1.amazonaws.com
usermod: user 'ec2-44-203-175-15.compute-1.amazonaws.com' does not exist

$ aws managedblockchain get-member n-J5V2Q5GB2JFDPFLTWAI7DLIBCM,m-37P3WWYDBREKHNB4YRCFH2KLS4.managedblockchain.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:30002

usage: aws [options]   [ ...] [parameters]
To see help text, you can run:

aws help
  aws  help
  aws   help

aws: error: the following arguments are required: --network-id, --member-id

My OS for running EC2 Instance, I'm using Amazon Linux. I'm using Macbook.

Thanks

You would use Visual Studio Code to connect to your EC2. First you would have to Install the Remote SSH Extension in Visual Studio Code and then create a config file. Your config file would have to look like this:

```
# Read more about SSH config files: https://linux.die.net/man/5/ssh_config
Host 
    HostName 
    User ec2-user
    IdentityFile /.pem
```

An alternative option is to use Cloud9 for a fully managed development environment.

It appears from your response that you are using CloudShell, but CloudShell cannot launch Docker.  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloudshell/latest/userguide/vm-specs.html  
> Currently, the AWS CloudShell compute environment doesn't support Docker containers.

Are you accessing EC2 and executing commands?

First, access EC2 from your local PC via SSH or other means.  
After that, Docker and other software must be installed.

Refer to the following instructions for SSH connection to EC2.
