An AWS instance is a virtual machine that runs its own operating system (there are several options for this), you connect to that virtual machine through a ssh connection that opens a system terminal, and there you have to type those commands.
Those commands could be a little different depending on the Linux version that the aws instance is running, that is why I'm asking you.

To make it a little easier for you, if you can connect to a RStudio session running on your AWS instance, then this panel is a system terminal for your instance.

Ubunto 16.04.5 LTS Is that it?
I guess I need to know how to open the system terminal for AWS.
I have never had to do that for anything using AWS so far. All I use AWS for is using RStudio.

The commands I gave you before should work for Ubuntu, just type those commands in the terminal pane on Rstudio, then you would have enough memory to install readr.

Terminal in RStudio worked. Thanks.
It gave me some errors, but now readr will install.
Can't figure out the AWS terminal though.
Appreciate your help.
