Yuk.  That's 2 platforms that are really not designed for each other. 
I'd avoid that in any sort of production environment.

If I had a gun to my head to complete the task?   I guess I'd start here:
http://www.blueonyx.it/index.php?page=5209r-manual-install

After that, your life is in your hands, so to speak.   Note that the 
TAR-ball install method was done away with some time ago.  With good 
reason.

If your goals include minimizing your cost, frustration and ongoing 
maintenance when things break (because they will) I'd recommend 
exploring other options.   We, and other providers, offer natively 
supported BlueOnyx options "in the cloud" that may be worth exploring.
