StrategyQuant instalation

Question

Dear AWS Support Team,

I am experiencing difficulties installing the StrategyQuant software on my AWS Amazon VPS, specifically the free tier version. I suspect that the issue might be related to the system requirements of the software, which might not be met by the capabilities of the free tier instance.

The specific requirements for StrategyQuant include:

Minimum RAM: [Specify RAM requirements, e.g., 8GB]
CPU: [Specify CPU requirements, e.g., Intel i5 or equivalent]
Hard Disk Space: [Specify disk space, e.g., 500GB]
Operating System: [Specify required OS, e.g., Windows 10]
Could you please provide clarification on whether the AWS free tier has limitations that could prevent the installation of software applications with these specific requirements? I would appreciate your guidance on this matter to determine if I need to upgrade my instance or make other adjustments.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello.

With the EC2 free tier, you will be using a small instance type such as t2.micro, so even if you can install the software, I don't think it will work.  
t2.micro has only 1GB of memory.  
If you only want to look at memory, you need t2.large.  
Also, if you are considering operation in a production environment, I think it is better to use the Mi7 type instance type instead of the T type.

Disk space is limited to 30GB in the free tier.  
There will be a charge for 500GB.
