R - install rJava on RStudio - Amazon Cloud - r

Question

I am using R on AWS EC2:
AMI ID
RStudio-0.98.501_R-3.0.3_ubuntu-13.10-64bit (ami-f06131a2)
and I cannot install rJava.
As far as I know I do not have access to Ubuntu commandline to run this code:
sudo apt-get install r-cran-rjava
Here is the error. Is there anything I can do inside RStudio?
Installing package into ‘/home/rstudio/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.0’

Answer 1

Have you tried sudo apt-get install r-cran-rjava ?
Is there a reason you cannot use the distribution's rJava package?

Answer 2

I was having problems installing a package that depended on rJava. Dirk's suggestion worked like a charm on a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.10

Answer 3

I found the answer here. I should use PUTTY terminal to connect to the instance commandline:
