Streisand looks fantastic, but I'm a little confused on the installation steps (not super skilled with AWS, still a student)

Do I just run these on an EC2 instance?

    git clone https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand.git && cd streisand
    ./util/venv-dependencies.sh ./venv
     source ./venv/bin/activate

And then there will be a HTML file which will explain how I can connect over SSL from my client device. Is that it?

There are a few steps but you're on the right path. Read the documentation on Github and then once you run `./streisand`, you just need to follow instructions on CLI.

It will ask you to get an API key from Digital Ocean in my case, location of the droplet, etc. It will create a new droplet automatically and get it up and running in about 20-30 mins. Once you're done, you'll get a link to login in your server and download configuration/clients.

You run that on your client machine to get all the dependencies required to execute the script. From there you will be prompted which cloud provider you want to use, and just follow the prompts.
