parse server deploying to aws - amazon-web-services

Question

I am trying to deploy deploy my parse server, parse server dashboard, etc to aws. I am sure that the problem that I am experiencing is quite simple and it has to do with how I am packaging my ab node apps. I am downloading the git repo and then uploading the zip to my eb instance. It is in turn giving me this error.
After downloading a repository, such as parse server, what do I need to do to put it on elastic bean stalk? I already have the parse server example running on aws. I am just trying to upgrade versions.
here is my package.JSON file

You have to physically go into the repository and compress it into a new zip file. For some reason it would not accept zip files that I downloaded off of github.
