Deploying a Web Book Register Application on an Ubuntu AWS EC2 instance using the MEAN stack (MongoDB, Express, Angular, Node.js) involves several steps. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Provision an AWS Instance

Launch an EC2 Instance:

• 
  Use the AWS Console to launch an Ubuntu Server (e.g., 22.04 LTS).

• 
  Choose an instance type (e.g., t2.micro for free tier).

• 
  Add certificates:

• 
  Install Node.js:

Step 3: Install MongoDB

Follow these steps to install MongoDB Community Edition using the apt package manager.

• 
  Install gnupg and curl if they are not already available:

• 
  Start and verify MongoDB.
  You can start the mongod process and Verify that MongoDB has started successfully by issuing the following commands:

• 
  Install npm (Node Package Manager):

Note: I faced issues with installing the npm, so I used aptitude to Resolve Dependencies. If you face issues, you can try using aptitude (an alternative package manager) to handle the dependency resolution:

aptitude:

• 
  Install aptitude:

• 
  Initialize the npm project:

• 
  Create a file named server.js and add the following code:

Step 4: Install Express and Set Up Routes

• 
  Install Express and Mongoose:

• 
  Create a file named routes.js and add the following code:

• 
  Create a file named book.js and add the following code:

Step 5: Access the Routes with AngularJS

• 
  Change the directory back to Books:

Step 6: Run the App

• 
  Go back to the project root directory and run the following command:

• 
  Opening TCP port 3300 on AWS Web Console for your EC2 Instance to access it from the Internet.

• 
  Testing the Book Management Application:
