You can install Arm Performance Libraries on an Arm-based AWS instance, such as t4g.2xlarge, running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
For instructions to create and connect to an AWS instance, see Get started with Servers and Cloud Computing .
Once connected via ssh, install the required packages with the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gcc g++ make -y

sudo ./arm-performance-libraries_24.10_deb/arm-performance-libraries_24.10_deb.sh --accept
Install environment modules to set the required environment variables. This allows you to quickly build the example applications.
sudo apt install environment-modules
source /usr/share/modules/init/bash
export MODULEPATH=$MODULEPATH:/opt/arm/modulefiles
module avail
You should see the armpl/24.10.0_gcc available.
