louieakil hi. Which steps are you having trouble with?

Is Elastic Beanstalk a VPS server?

louieakil yes Flarum needs SSH access and Composer on the server.

Once you have shell access to your server, you should be able to follow Flarum instructions just like on any VPS. If it's a completely blank environment you'll also need to install the webserver/php/composer yourself maybe.

clarkwinkelmann Beanstalk is a managed service, it spins up the server, installs the application/dependencies, and puts a managed web server in front of it. I don't think that using Beanstalk with Flarum is a good idea honestly. There would be problems with persistency of storage and things like that, Beanstalk isn't really thought for that AFAIK

eslamshehata476 we wouldn't recommend you use it.

Unless you are ready to make the research and trial/error yourself on a special kind of hosting, we recommend you pick a hosting that meets Flarum requirements out of the box https://flarum.org/docs/install.html#server-requirements
