在AWS EC2实例上安装RStudio

Question

I managed to create an EC2 instance Amazon Linux AMI 2017.09.1 (randomly chosen) on Amazon Web Services ( AWS ). I can send and receive files from my local desktop to AWS properly.

Now I would like to install R ( RStudio Server ) on AWS . When searching for an answer, I found the script below that is to be written into Putty :

# install R base
$ sudo yum install r-base

#install RStudio-Server 1.1.442
$ sudo yum install gdebi-core
$ wget https://download2.rstudio.org/rstudio-server-1.1.442-amd64.deb
$ sudo gdebi rstudio-server-1.1.442-amd64.deb

#add user(s)
useradd username
echo username:password | passwordtest

But the answer I get each time is: "No package r-base available" or also "No package gdebi-core available".

Are they some prerequisite steps that I am missing? Thanks. M

Amazon Linux AMI 2017.09.1 is based on Centos 6 and the step you got is for Ubuntu(gdebi is an Ubuntu installer), Here are the steps from the official documentation.

$ sudo yum install R
$ wget https://download2.rstudio.org/rstudio-server-rhel-1.1.442-x86_64.rpm
$ sudo yum install rstudio-server-rhel-1.1.442-x86_64.rpm
