prepare a actions runner for Code Scanning

1. create a new aws ec2 instance

2. check the git, usually the default of git install in the instance should be 1.18.XX, we need to update it to git 2.XXX

   $ git --version

  $ sudo yum remove git*

  $ sudo yum -y install https://packages.endpoint.com/rhel/7/os/x86_64/endpoint-repo-1.7-1.x86_64.rpm

  $ sudo yum install git

$ git --version

git version 2.30.1

3. check if the docker is installed in the instance, we need to intall it if not.

$docker --verison

$sudo yum intall docker

$sudo service docker restart

add current user to docker group, give the user access to docker, so that we don't need to add "sudo" when using docker.

$sudo groupadd docker

$sudo usermod -aG docker centos

$sudo reboot  #restart the instance.

4.setup runner in ths instance

 

install git 2.30 for ubuntu 18.04:

remove the old version

$sudo apt-get remove git

Step 1: Add the Official PPA by GIT

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa

Step 2: Update the repository

sudo apt update

Step 3: Install Git 2.30.0

sudo apt install git

install git-lfs:

• curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/github/git-lfs/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
• sudo apt-get install git-lfs
• git lfs install
