@chaudhry you need to be on amazon linux - what does /cat/etc/system-release say?

NAME="Amazon Linux AMI" VERSION="2018.03" ID="amzn" ID_LIKE="rhel fedora" VERSION_ID="2018.03" PRETTY_NAME="Amazon Linux AMI 2018.03"

I think my AMI is old. May be I need to upgrade my server to AMI 2. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You can try the following if using the original Amazon Linux Amazon Machine Image

sudo yum-config-manager --enable epel

Thank you! I was trying to make Puppeteer work on Elastic Beanstalk (Amazon Linux 2). Your file was a good start but I had to make a few changes.
