How to install SageMath and LinBox C++ library on Amazon EC2 server

Question

I would like to install SageMath on my AWS EC2 server, however when I type sudo yum install sagemath, I get the error that sagemath is not available, which was to be expected. How can I get around this?  
  
Sage: http://www.sagemath.org/index.html  
  
Also I'd like to install the C++ library called LinBox, which has dependencies on other C++ libraries: Givaro, FFLAS-FFPACK, and BLAS. So how would I install these?  
  
LinBox: https://linalg.org/  
  
P.S. I am quite new to cloud computing so please try to be as explicit as possible so that I may understand! Thank you!
