I am not able to find a way to install Bioinformatics and other supported packages in AWS linux based OS while these works in ubuntu and their documentation says they support linux based OS. Is there any command to fix this issue?

Use conda to install many common bioinformatics packages. For example: use conda install seqtk or conda create --name seqtk seqtk to install the seqtk package.

This docker container has most of the bioinformatics software you'll ever need. You can get the image and work in the running container. If you're not comfortable working with Docker containers yet you can go to each software's own website and download it according to their suggestions.
