I am trying to setup a stake pool using Amazon Linux 2 AMI (HVM) and followed the documentation [Running A Node Using An AWS Instance](https://developers.cardano.org/en/testnets/cardano/get-started/installing-and-running-the-cardano-node/running-the-node-on-an-aws-instance/).

I am at the [Installing the node from source](https://docs.cardano.org/projects/cardano-node/en/latest/getting-started/install.html), and I do not know which `cabal-install` binary to install as listed in the following link: [Downloads](https://www.haskell.org/cabal/download.html).

Please can someone advise? Many thanks.

You could consider running your nodes on Docker, it does away with all those pesky low level details.

Just do …

```auto
docker run --detach \
    --name=relay \
    -p 3001:3001 \
    -e CARDANO_UPDATE_TOPOLOGY=true \
    -v node-data:/opt/cardano/data \
    nessusio/cardano-node run    

```

Detailed docs are [here](https://tdiesler.gitbook.io/cardano/v/iohk/plain-docker/running-the-nodes).

Follow the coincashew guide, it makes things a lot easier when setting up a stake pool

[https://www.coincashew.com/coins/overview-ada/guide-how-to-build-a-haskell-stakepool-node](https://www.coincashew.com/coins/overview-ada/guide-how-to-build-a-haskell-stakepool-node)

I am currently using a t3.large for my block/relay1/relay2

I am planning to set up a ARM processor server like t4g for more cost savings.
