RE: How can I install Rstudio on ubuntu?
I can't seem to find it in the package sources
You can install RStudio on Ubuntu using the terminal. Here's a step by step guide :
1. **First, install R.** Open terminal and type the following commands:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install r-base
```
Press `Enter` after each line. This will install R.
2. **Next, install dependencies needed for RStudio.** Enter the following command:
```bash
sudo apt install gdebi-core
```
Press `Enter`. This will install the `gdebi` tool, which allows you to install local deb packages resolving and installing its dependencies.
3. **Download the latest RStudio package.** Go to the RStudio download page (https://rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/) and find the link for Ubuntu systems. You can download it using the `wget` command on terminal. Replace 'download_link' with the actual link.
```bash
wget 'download_link'
```
4. **Install RStudio.** After downloading, navigate to the directory where it was downloaded (usually ~/Downloads) and install. Replace 'file_name' with actual file name.
```bash
sudo gdebi 'file_name'
```
5. Finally, launch it by typing `rstudio` in the terminal or by clicking the RStudio icon in your applications menu.
Once all steps are done, you should have RStudio installed and ready to use on your Ubuntu system.
