SOLVED- Re: help installing R on Linux Mint 21.2
I couldn't install RStudio from the terminal in Linux Mint, like I hoped, but managed to install it the "MS Windows way", by downloading the .deb file from RStudio's website and then double-clicking the downloaded file... (and importing their key). Would love to be able to do it all from the terminal some day, but at least got it going for now. Thanks and sorry for the bother. Luben
