Amazon Web Services is deprecating support for the Node.js 8.10 runtime,
used by *condor_annex*.  If you ran the *condor_annex* setup
command with a version of HTCondor before 8.8.7 or 8.9.5, you should update your account to use the new runtime.  Accounts setup with version 8.8.7 and 8.9.5 (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/1032/upgrade-runtime.py{endcode}
4: Run it: {code}python2 ./upgrade-runtime.py{endcode}

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