AWS ElasticBeanstalk NodeJS

Question

i want to use ElasticBeanstalk with the predefined configuration "Node.js" and "64bit Amazon Linux 2014.09 v1.0.9". The problem is that my NodeJS application use gm which need GraphicsMagick, but GrpahicsMagick isn't installed on the predefined configuration! Is it possible to tell Amazon AWS to install missing package after bootstrap and before deploying of my NodeJS application? Which other possibilities I have?

Ok, I think i found the answer. Create a file .config in .elasticbeanstalk folder and add following lines packages: yum: ImageMagick: [] So AWS install the package on each ec2 node. customize-containers-format-packages

As stated here I'd recommend you to put the .config file inside a .ebextensions directory at the top level of your project.

A different solution which should work as well. Create a package.config in .ebextensions directory. And state:

commands:
  01-command:
    command: yum install -y [option flags] GraphicsMagick
