Has anyone installed rlwrap on Amazon linux?

I assume rlwrap isnt available via 'yum' or 'dnf'. You could try downloading the Fedora package of rlwrap and installing the package locally. Or download the https://github.com/hanslub42/rlwrap/releases. If it provides a single binary then add it to a directory on the execution path (or install https://github.com/devmatteini/dra to simplify that). If its only source code, then I assume make and make install commands will do the trick

All the suggestions from search produced 404's when I tried to download, so I did install from source.

sudo yum install -y autoconf automake gcc ncurses-devel readline-devel
wget  -O rlwrap.zip
unzip rlwrap.zip
cd rlwrap-master
autoreconf --install
./configure --without-libptytty
make
sudo make install
