5 years ago Hi @jburke-IWT,
to build a custom layer, you just need to zip the libraries and place them under R/library/ in your archive. If you run build_recommended.sh, it should build such an archive for you which is non-empty. However, you need to provide a compiled R distribution for that. Please see the README for information on how to create such a distribution.
Nevertheless, you do not need to build the layer yourself, you can always use our distribution:
Available AWS regions:
- ap-northeast-1
- ap-northeast-2
- ap-south-1
- ap-southeast-1
- ap-southeast-2
- ca-central-1
- eu-central-1
- eu-north-1
- eu-west-1
- eu-west-2
- eu-west-3
- sa-east-1
- us-east-1
- us-east-2
- us-west-1
- us-west-2
Available R versions:
- 3_5_1
ARN: arn:aws:lambda:${region}:131329294410:layer:r-recommended-${version}:1
Hi Philip,
Do I have to run the build_recommended to get the layer? Or an I just zip R/library/ and load it manually through AWS lambda layers? I tried running build_recommended and it's creating R/library but the folder is empty and it's not creating a zip.
