| Good question (which I missed). I do it like this:

| (ii) ./configure and make
| (iii) Start R-devel: $ ~/src/R-devel/bin/R

It is, but more work. (I still do it as it is set up.)
Another good way is to use the rocker/drd container (where "drd" is short for
"daily R-devel"). Requires a system that can run Docker, which is most these
days, and generally worth it.
