Amazon Web Services is deprecating support for the Node.js 4.3 runtime,
used by *condor_annex*, on July 31, 2018.  If you ran the *condor_annex* setup
command with a previous version, you must update your account to use the new
runtime.  Accounts setup with version 8.79 (or later) of HTCondor will use the new runtime.  To update an already-setup account, follow the instructions below.

----

We've provided a small Python script, *upgrade-runtime.py* to update your account for you.

1: Log into the machine where you run *condor_annex*.  If you can't run condor_annex immediately after logging in, do whatever you do so that you can, and then proceed to the next step.
2: Run {code}pip install --user boto3{endcode}  This installs a Python library, if it isn't already present, needed by the script.
3: Download the script: {code}wget https://htcondor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/attach_get/1019/upgrade-runtime.py{endcode}
4: Run it: {code}python2 ./upgrade-runtime.py{endcode}

If the script reports a failure, contact us for assistance.
