Fire up an EC2 instance (t2.nano will do) with the appropriate AMI listed at http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/current-supported-versions.html e.g. for EU (Ireland) search "Community API" for ami-bff32ccc.
SSH into the instance e.g.
sudo ssh -i your-key-pair.pem [email protected]
Install compatible Node.js (currently v0.10.36):
sudo -i
wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.36/node-v0.10.36-linux-x64.tar.gz
cd /usr/local
tar --strip-components 1 -xzf /root/node-v0.10.36-linux-x64.tar.gz
sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
sudo yum -y install zlib-devel
