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