Overview# ArchivesSpace is an open-source archival information management application for managing archives, manuscripts, and digital objects, and providing web access.

I had the opportunity to set up ArchivesSpace on Amazon Lightsail, so this is a memo of the process.
Installation instructions are described on the following page.
https://archivesspace.github.io/tech-docs/readme_implement.html
Instance# I selected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
The documentation states the following, but since performance was sluggish with 2GB of memory, I selected 4GB.
At least 1024 MB RAM allocated to the application; at least 2 GB for optimal performance.
Installation# First, download ArchivesSpace.
