Installing OpenCPU on Amazon Linux instance

I have a an Amazon Linux instance which uses R to write a function to do some data analysis. I now want to call this function using a REST API. It seems that OpenCPU can get the job done for me.

I have found links to install OpenCPU on Ubuntu, but is there an easy to way to install it on Amazon Linux instance.

PS: I tried

sudo yum -y install opencpu

sudo yum -y install opencpu-server

It says no such package available.

Solution

  • I managed to get it installed from this script https://github.com/jeroenooms/opencpu-server/blob/master/rpm/buildscript.sh.
