In the following instructions, we call it `pip3` but you may be able to use `pip` if that refers to the same thing.

## The Ubuntu ntp Packages
The [Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) package `ntp`](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/ntp) is based on the reference implementation of an NTP daemon (i.e. `ntpd`).
The [Ubuntu `ntp` packages](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp) are based on the reference implementation of NTP.
The following commands will uninstall the `ntp` and `ntpdate` packages, install the latest `ntp` package (which _might not be based on the latest ntpd code_), and start the NTP daemon (a local NTP server). (`ntpdate` is not reinstalled because it's [deprecated](https://askubuntu.com/questions/297560/ntpd-vs-ntpdate-pros-and-cons) and you shouldn't use it.)

You can deploy a monitoring server on AWS. To do that, go to the AWS EC2 Console and launch an instance:
1. Choose an AMI: select Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS.
1. Choose an AMI: select Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS.
2. Choose an Instance Type: a t2.micro will suffice.
3. Configure Instance Details: you can accept the defaults, but feel free to change them.
4. Add Storage: A "Root" volume type should already be included. You _could_ store monitoring data there (e.g. in a folder named `/influxdb-data`) but we will attach another volume and store the monitoring data there instead. Select "Add New Volume" and an EBS volume type.
