+ key.pem is the key generated when you create an instance.  
+ xx.xx.xx.xx is the your public ip
+
+Once connnected to ec2 instance install nodejs   
+Add nodejs yum repo and build tools    
+
+`sudo yum install -y gcc-c++ make`  
+`sudo curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -`
