Set up AWS SDK for C++ on Ubuntu system?

Hi everyone,

I have been following the documentation for setting up the AWS SDK, however after having the packages installed I am getting error messages when trying to compile and run a cpp file which just prints "hello", and has the headers for aws/core and aws/s3 included. I am just trying to verify everything is linked correctly. Actually connecting to S3 can be a separate task.

Can someone provide exact step by step solution for setting up the AWS SDK on a Ubuntu EC2 instance? Starting from cloning the repo, to compiling the cpp file and running the executable. Thank you very much.

I am relatively new to CPP so I'm using this as a side project to gain some experience, sorry if my question seems nooby.
