IBM MobileFirst installation on AWS Linux - ibm-mobilefirst

I am planning to install IBM MobileFirst on AWS Linux (RedHat) instance and move our existing app to it.
I have installed IBM MobileFirst via Eclipse and developed app on windows environment and have no idea on Linux.
I need some guidelines to achieve this.

There are no available up-to-date instructions for deploying MobileFirst Server to Amazon EC2, other than the following which are for Worklight 5: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/worklight/entry/how_to_install_worklight_server_on_amazon_ec21?lang=en
The general idea is the same, though.

Weblogic Adapter in Eclipse Neon missing

I have installed Weblogic 12.2.1 using the following tutorial successfully on my Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6
I am now trying to configure weblogic in my Eclipse Neon. I am not able to see any server adapters that others see in different tutorials.
After some reading online I installed OEP 12.2.1.6 software and restarted eclipse but it of no help
LIST OF SERVERS ADAPTERS I SEE IN TUTORIALS
LIST I AM SEEING AFTER INSTALLING OEPE
I need those adapters to add weblogic to my eclipse.
I had the same question some days ago after checking some online tutorials.
In the later versions of OEPE, you only see a "unified" oracle weblogic server adapter.
Once you have selected this option, you will be able to choose the desired server runtime environment from a list of the runtimes configured on your machine (separate download).
If you see none, then you will have to configure some before trying to add a weblogic server.

IBM MobileFirst runtime environment creation using Linux command shell

Environment :
IBM MobileFirst 7.1
IBM DB2
IBM WAS 8.5.5
OS : RHEL 7.1
I need to upload war project files and create runtime environment on the MF using Linux command shell (Putty) as I can't remote desktop the Linux server (BTW, is there any way to remote? I tried X11 but no success.)
Can you share the steps with commands to achieve this?
IBM MobileFirst Platform provides both a tool and Ant tasks to upload .war files to your production environment.
See the documentation here: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHS8R_7.1.0/com.ibm.worklight.deploy.doc/deploy/c_deploy_wl_project.html

install MobileFirst 7.0 server (for test and production environment) with IBM Installation Manager

While I'm following the IBM Knowledge Center' guide to install a IBM MobileFirst 7.0 Server for production environment but that document is too simple for any newbees to handle it.
Can someone provide a more detailed guide and a MF 7.0 server download link so that I can use it as the local repository. Thanks in advance.
Only IBM Customers and Business Partners can download the server components.
These components can be download from either the IBM Passport Advantage website or the IBM Fix Central website.
Download IBM Installation Manager
Download the GM version of the release you'd like to install
Download the latest iFix version of the release you'd like to install
Download the latest supported version of WebSphere Full profile or WebSphere Liberty profile or Tomcat for the release you'd like to install
Use the IBM Installation Manager to install the above components (4, 2 and 3 in that order)
In the IBM Installation Manager go to File > Repositories and add them (consult the documentation how)
Start with installing WebSphere
Use again the IBM Installation Manager to install ontop of the previously installed application server (Tomcat, WebSphere or Liberty) the MobileFirst Server components; you will be going through a wizard
This step is not containable here as it varies and depends a lot on what you intend to use. Review the documentation.

IBM MobileFirst Operations Console does not work with HTTPS

We are unable to use MobileFirst 6.3 Operations Console with HTTPS. I reviewed a couple of links here and installed the last fix pack available for the server side (6.3.0.0-MFPF-Server-IF201504041503.zip).
We are having the same behavior explained in this link:
Unable to use HTTPS for MobileFirst Console 6.3
Need I install another fix or redeploy worklightconsole.war ?
Thanks in advance
You have not installed the last MFP 6.3 ifix as you can see in the messages.log file of your last zipped logs :
[4/15/15 12:00:34:754 ART] 00000012 ht.admin.listeners.WorklightManagementServletContextListener I FWLSE3199I: ========= MobileFirst Administration Services version 6.3.0.00-20141127-1357 started.
When you install a fix you have to do a minimal update of the console applications and the runtime applications with the Server config tools or the installation ant tasks. Otherwise no war files are updated.

Is analytics available with the MobileFirst Platform CLI developer edition?

I have installed the MobileFirst Platform CLI developer edition from https://developer.ibm.com/mobilefirstplatform/install/#clui
I am trying to investigate the analytics of the application, but this doesn't seem to be properly installed from here.
I am able to create a MFP server, start it and access the console. It doesn't have a link to the analytics in the top-right of the console as it does in the developer edition provided by Eclipse. Is this behaviour as expected or is there something missing?
I have tried installing this package twice. I am running on OSX 10.10
In the Liberty servers directory, /Users//.ibm/mobilefirst/6.3.0/server/wlp/usr/servers, I can see the Worklight folder. It has an _analytics.war file in it (which is different from my Eclipse install which has a worklight-analytics.war and worklight-analytics-service.war)
And in the messages.log file, I am getting messages saying that the web application _analytics is available.
But I then a number of messages with
com.worklight.analytics.api.AnalyticsHttpService.sendDataToURL target server response code: 404
Going directly to http://localhost:10080/_analytics responds with an "Authorization failed" message.
Update - Got it working
I uninstalled the dev edition CLI and downloaded the CLI from Passport Advantage and installed it from there. The analytics feature now seems to work. Although the link to it is still not available in the top right of the console.
I don't know if it's a different install package, or an issue on my Mac that I inadvertently resolved, but the analytics feature is now working
The issue here was that the version you originally downloaded was not up-to-date.
This will be corrected soon.
Proper mechanisms will be put in place so that this will not happen again.
Yesterday I downloaded and installed the publically available MobileFirst Platform 6.3 CLI from https://developer.ibm.com/mobilefirstplatform/install/#clui. I created a simple app which connects to the MFP server.
Result: Analytics works without any problem.
So you do not have to buy the product just to use the CLI with analytics.
