I installed a new EC2 instance (Ubuntu 18), followed these instructions for connecting via Putty, updated NodeJS and installed pm2 (these instructions).



Everything worked well. I even set up a pm2 process to run my React app. Then I closed Putty.



Here's the problem: when I SSH back in (same way as before), it looks like my environment rolled back. NodeJS is the old version again and the pm2 command isn't recognized.



Running htop, I see my pm2 process is still running and can confirm that my React app still works. It seems like that all exists in some separate instance or session.



I'm new to Linux so I'm sure I'm missing something basic. Any ideas or tips on how I can get back to my "other" instance?
