installing tydiverse on Linux Mint
Eric, I do have Windows as a virtual machine in GNOME Boxes, but it is only there for extremely rare cases - when I am required to do something for work on a proprietary software (e.g., sign a pdf document in Adobe, which I do once a month...).?So I don't want to run R and RStudio in Windows, even tho I can and I have been able to install tidyverse there without any problems. Come to think of it, it is rather ironic - that it is easier to run this free/open source software on a proprietary OS than on a free/open source OS... Your suggestion to try the Rstudio Server instead of desktop may be what I try next (because a bunch of additional attempts on Rstudio Desktop that I made today also failed).? Thanks, Luben

Hi Luben, You wrote earlier that you cannot get linux help from your IT department. I am guessing that your IT department supports Windows. In that case, consider using Windows with WSL 2 (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about). The default Linux distribution for WSL 2 is ubuntu, which is supported by posit and R and will allow you to avoid the problems you are experiencing with Mint. A separate hint is that sometimes rstudio-server works when rstudio desktop fails. In this case you can bring up Rstudio in your browser.?

Thank you Dirk, I will read through all the other instructions on your site as well and try again. I have never used Dockers before, but will give it a try too. I appreciate all your help with R on Linux! Luben On Mon, 2024-01-01 at 22:14 -0600, Dirk Eddelbuettel wrote:
Luben, r2u instructions are at the site; there are two scripts for Ubuntu focal and jammy. I tested those repeatedly. Many people used them. We also support Docker installationsl; the docker images are also rebuilt frequently. r2u is also used around the clock on CI, likely most often 'from scratch' on more base-level Ubuntu installations. I never used Linux Mint. If this differs, you will have to work out how to cover any and all edges you encounter. I never claimed r2u was for Mint. r2y has delivered well over ten millions binary packages since we started this, and is running likely thousands of automated jobs each way.? On the supported platforms, i.e. mostly Ubuntu jammy. Cheers, Dirk
