I was able to get our demo app running on an ec2 instance will fairly little hassle...

http://ec2-54-68-53-8.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:8080/

I used the Ubuntu ec2 instance.
Once in, I setup a few things. First, I created a new user "appuser" to run the app as and setup my public key:

sudo adduser appuser --system --disabled-password --group --shell /bin/bash
cd /home/appuser
mkdir .ssh
cd .ssh
echo "--paste your public key here--" >> authorized_keys
chmod 600 authorized_keys

I also installed mongo, ruby & sass

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mongodb ruby
gem install sass

Then I logged into the server as the app user, and installed NVM:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.15.0/install.sh | bash

Next I setup node:

nvm install v0.10.31
nvm default v0.10.31

Then I installed yo & forever, and our generator:

npm install -g yo forever generator-angular-fullstack

Next I built a simple app:

mkdir ~/app && cd $_ && yo angular-fullstack

I built it with everything, though I didn't actually setup the passport stuff for 3rd parties, not sure why I even enabled them, but I did. =)

Next I setup my environment:

export NODE_ENV="production"

I built the app:

grunt build

Lastly, I launched it:

cd dist
forever server/app.js &

The & at the end tells the process to run in the background, so I can log out even and it will keep running.
