Generate PO File

You can use POedit to generate the PO file from source code:

https://codex.wordpress.org/User:Skippy/Creating_POT_Files

The problem for me is that my WordPress installation is running on an Amazon Linux server, which does not have a package in the repos for POedit and I couldn’t figure out how to install POedit on my server (only on my local Windows machine).
If anyone can point me to instructions on how to install POedit on an Amazon Linux Server or how to generate the PO file another way from source code on my server I would appreciate it.

As a hack, since I don’t have that many files in my theme, I simply moved the necessary php files to my local (Windows) machine (which has POedit installed) and generated the PO file from the source code on my local machine.
