Installing CartoDB on AWS EC2

Question

Purpose

I would like to install CartoDB on AWS EC2 and use it.
I want to eliminate an error occurring at login.

Details of the problem

We installed CartoDB on EC2 referring to the following website.
http://michaelminn.net/tutorials/carto-aws/

Go to http://${EC2_PublicIP}:3000/, enter the user and password set during the installation process and login
The following message was displayed, which made it impossible to operate after that.

Missing template public/static/dashboard/index.html with {:locale=>[:en], 
:formats=>[:html], :variants=>[], :handlers=>[:erb, :builder, :raw, :ruby]}. 
Searched in: 
* "/home/ubuntu/cartodb/app/views" 
* "/home/ubuntu/cartodb/gears/carto_gears_api/app/views" 
* "/home/ubuntu/cartodb" * "/"

Extracted source (around line #54):           
  def index
    render(file: "public/static/dashboard/index.html", layout: false)
  end
  def show

Rails.root: /home/ubuntu/cartodb

Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace
app/controllers/admin/visualizations_controller.rb:54:in `index'
app/controllers/application_controller.rb:150:in `wrap_in_profiler'

Sorry to trouble you, but please tell me how to fix the error.

I had experienced the same problem.

First of all, check your SQL API Configuration, Map API Configuration, CARTO Builder Configuration for private and public aws ip's - this can be tricky, so you have to be very considerate.

Also, I succeeded with running

npm run build:static
export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/node_modules/grunt-cli/bin
bundle exec grunt --environment=development

inside cartodb directory just after

npm run carto-node

these steps are mentioned in official CartoDB docs as optional, but in my case all of the above made the thing.
