3. update the package lists: before you install openemr, ensure that your instance has the latest packages by running this command:
```sql
sudo yum update -y
```
4. install apache (for openemr) and required libraries: apache server is required to run openemr, so you need to install it. to install the required libraries, run these commands:
```
sudo yum install httpd -y
```
5. install mysql (for openemr) and configure it: openemr is a mysql-based ehr/ehr application. so, you need to install mysql on your instance and configure it to allow remote connections. run these commands:
```
sudo yum install mysql-server -y
```
during the installation process, configure mysql to allow remote connections:

a. edit the "my.cnf" configuration file:

```makefile
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
```

6. install openemr and additional dependencies: openemr and its dependencies can be installed using the following command:
```bash
sudo yum install epel-release -y
sudo yum groupinstall "development tools" -y
sudo yum install openemr -y
```
7. configure openemr for production environment: openemr requires several configuration changes to work in a production environment. you can edit the "config.inc.php" file to make these changes:
```bash
sudo nano /etc/openemr/config/config.inc.php
```
a. change the "soc_secrets" value to point to your openemr's encryption keys. please make sure you store these keys securely. sample configuration:
```makefile
soc_secrets = (depleted, [algonquin;123456;123456], depleted, [quebec;654321;123456])
```
b. update the "max_execution_time", "memory_limit", and "upload_max_filesize" parameters to ensure proper performance:
```php
define('debug_console', false);
ini_set('max_execution_time', 60); // set maximum execution time to 1 minute
ini_set('memory_limit', '128m'); // set memory limit to 128mb
ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '25m'); // set upload file size limit to 25mb
```
c. save and close the file.

8. configure php for openemr: openemr uses php to process requests. you need to configure php to work with openemr. run these commands:

disable_functions = passthru,system,shell_exec
```
e. save and close the file.

9. test openemr: once you're done with the configuration, it's recommended to test openemr to ensure everything is working properly. you can use a web browser to access the openemr installation at the default url: http://your_ip_address/openemr/ or http://your_ec2_instance_public_dns_name/openemr/ (if you prefer the public dns).

that's it! you've successfully installed openemr on your amazon linux ec2 instance. i hope this guide proved helpful for you.
