Hello, we are trying to install xmlstarlet on elastic image Amazon Linux Amazon Linux PV S3 stock image but we don't know how to do this. I tried putting the following command:

sudo yum install xmlstarlet

In the starting setup script of the image, but the agent hangs forever. Any idea how this can be accomplished?

Ok, so I believe I found how to do it. I went to "Edit elastic image configuration - Amazon Linux PV S3 stock image" and added the following command as a new line:

sudo yum -y install xmlstarlet

yum list installed xmlstarlet

Now i'm seeing my bash script that is calling xmlstarlet working as a charm
