The install script picks the standalone version instead of the rpm based version when installing on an Amazon Linux 2 ec2 instance. I manually had to use rpm to install, which is included in Amazon Linux 2. The script should also use rpm so that the systemctl service is installed as well
Running: curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run gives the following output
Amazon Linux 2
Unsupported package manager.
