Hello everyone, Newbie here. I’m looking for a recent installation guide for setting up Mautic on AWS EC2. I don’t have much coding experience, so a step-by-step guide is preferred. I also need a server to handle 5k subscribers with highly detailed segmentation. I have some pre-installation questions if anyone can help me out. 1. Would Amazon Linux AMI be considered a standard OS? I read some older installation guides with Ubuntu and Bitnami, but want to avoid any third-party software for reliability. My concern with Ubuntu, from what I read, is that it sends data or user information to other third parties. 2. What is the most stable version of Mautic? For now I’d like to focus on learning Mautic with the least amount of issues. 3. Is setting up Nginx in front of Apache the best setup for performance? If there’s anything else I should be aware of, please let me know. Thanks! ---

Can anyone tell me if this Ubuntu installation is valid and will work with an Amazon Linux 2 install? They’re both Linux no? Install Mautic 4 on Ubuntu 18.04 > **[Install Mautic 4 on Ubuntu 18.04 – Joey Keller](https://joeykeller.com/install-mautic-4-on-ubuntu-18-04/)**
