Amazon Linux

Amazon Linux repositories typically support two 64-bit releases at a time. For example, if the latest version is 2017.09, packages are provided for both 2017.09 and 2017.03.

# Amazon Linux 2 (td-agent 4)
curl -L https://toolbelt.treasuredata.com/sh/install-amazon2-td-agent4.sh | sh

# Legacy support for EOL Amazon Linux 1 (td-agent 3)
curl -L https://toolbelt.treasuredata.com/sh/install-amazon1-td-agent3.sh | sh

The scripts rely on $releasever being formatted as year.month (for example 2017.09). Some AWS services override this format, which causes installation failures. If your environment’s $releasever differs, update it to match the expected format or set up the Treasure Data repository manually.
