1. Run /arcgis/server/tools/authorizeSoftware
2. Select the corresponding work organization, work area, and role
3. Use ubuntu user and become a root. Then, run apt-get install emacs
4. Edit /arcgis/server/tools/createsite/createsite.properties with username = siteadmin password =<your pass>
5. Run /arcgis/server/startserver.sh
6. /arcgis/server/tools/createsite/createsite.sh -f createsite.properties
7. Use ubuntu user and become a root. Then, run apt-get install firefox
8. sudo apt-get install dbus-x11
9. Run firefox https://private_ip:6443/arcgis/admin
10. Open port 6433 in inbound rule of security group
11. Add DNS entry for server like (URL name) and associate IPv4 address with it
12. Run firefox from your computer and try (URL name)
13. Run the following commands:
    
    #systemctl enable arcgisserver.service#systemctl stop arcgisserver.service#systemctl start arcgisserver.service#systemctl status arcgisserver.service
14. Add a load balancer like (URL name) to avoid certificate warning. Force https and forward traffic to 6433
