Install Sound-wave and AWS inventory

Hello Guys,
Welcome back in the recent event in my office i need to work on a searchable inventory solution in AWS. so that i can get the list of AWS instances in CSV format. So i have google out and try to get the solution suitable for my requirement so i choose the soundwave. So lets not waste the time and getting started with the installation and some sample queries.

So lets install a Ubuntu server on virtual box if you don't want to waste money on AWS server. So i have install on my local server.

I have installed  Ubuntu server and install git on it also installed terraform on it.

#sudo apt-get update
#sudo apt-get upgrade -y
#sudo apt-get install git

Install oracle jdk1.8 on ubuntu srever as a prerequisite for that you need to install ppa repo by using following command

#sudo apt-add-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
#sudo apt-get update
#sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

Now lets install terraform

#wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.9.8/terraform_0.9.8_linux_amd64.zip
#unzip terraform_0.9.8_linux_amd64.zip
#sudo mv terraform /usr/local/bin/

Now  lets conform terraform binary is accessible
#terraform --version

Now lets install docker as well on the server you can take reference from Here . and install docker on your server.

also Keep the Access and secret key of your AWS account handy you can get the access and secret  key from the AWS console.

After this you can follow the instruction form here. After all of done you can check its install and working.check the public ip or IP you use to ssh on server.
and put it in browser.
