Even if it works, at the moment [Amazon Linux 2](https://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-2/) (AL2) is not one of the supported Operating Systems.
<br> If you are planning to install Abaqus on AL2 you need to work around the installer.

This is pretty straightforward as the installer checks the operating system being among the supported ones using `lsb_release`.

All that's needed is to backup the actual `lsb_release` and then create a new `lsb_release` that just print `CentOS`, once saved, give it execution permissions:
<br> If you are planning to install Abaqus on AL2 (or in general on an un-supported operating system) you need to work around the installer.

```bash
sudo mv /usr/bin/lsb_release /usr/bin/lsb_release_OLD
export DSY_Force_OS=linux_a64
export DSYAuthOS_`lsb_release --short --id | sed 's/ //g'`=1

sudo bash -c 'cat <<EOF > /usr/bin/lsb_release
#!/bin/bash
..
...
#then

echo "CentOS"
EOF'
./StartTUI.sh

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/lsb_release
```

After installation, you can return your backed-up file: `sudo mv /usr/bin/lsb_release_OLD /usr/bin/lsb_release`

**_NOTE:_** For the full Abaqus installation guide, please refer to the official documentation.
