I am experimenting with Ray. So far I have created a “cluster” on my local PC , and ran a python script against it. I’m now trying to set up a cluster on AWS and see if I can do the same with that. But I seem to be hitting numerous issues, first on my windows PC, then I tried on the Cloudshell on AWS. I’m following the A Step-by-Step Guide to Scaling Your First Python Application in the Cloud on [medium.com](http://medium.com). Using the example YAML and python code given there. So, when I run the ray up cluster.yaml command. I get the following error message on screen at the bottom. **FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘rsync’: 'rsync’** On AWS, an m5.large EC2 instance gets created and is running. When I then try and run the sample python file I get this output:- ray submit cluster.yaml step\_1.py 2022-01-18 13:51:22,271 INFO util.py:282 – setting max workers for head node type to 0 2022-01-18 13:51:22,271 INFO util.py:286 – setting max workers for ray.worker.default to 1 Loaded cached provider configuration If you experience issues with the cloud provider, try re-running the command with --no-config-cache.

Can you install rsync on your machine where you’re running `ray up`? ---

Sorry my mistake , it’s rsync of course not fsync. Now have it installed on cloudshell and will try and create the cluster once more ---

An update Richard. I managed to get it working for me on Cloudshell which is great. Thanks for your suggestion on rsync. I don’t suppose you know of any way to do something similar using Windows as that’s the system I’m most familiar with. AFAIK rsync is not a Windows command.
