I uhh... I appear to have made a mistake.
I thought I selected the amd64... I selected ARM64... Scientifically proving that I am a failure as a human being and that I deserve nothing less than ridicule and derision.
Try this one, instead:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/r/r-cran-igraph/r-cran-igraph_1.2.4.2-2build1_amd64.deb
The link opens a new tab that closes instantly, but no file is downloaded
I do not know. It opens a Download Chooser dialog on mine. The link is not broken.
r-api-3.5 is included in r-base-core...
You added this repository:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:c2d4u.team/c2d4u4.0+
And ran this command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install r-cran-rstan -d
Correct?
I just tested this on my machine - and it installed. The above includes r-base-core as well.
Are you set to Main Server? Or am I missing something here?
Otherwise... Here is r-base-core (I doublecheckd... amd64)
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/r/r-base/r-base-core_3.6.3-2_amd64.deb
This must be driving you up the wall in frustration.
I ran the commands and the problem persists. This is the first time that I'm banging my head against the wall with a problem on Linux. I hope everything will be ok
What about the .deb file linked about for r-base-core?
When I click to install it, it says it's already installed. It gives me the option to remove it only
Ok... So that worked. Have you tried installing the previous .deb since then?
It gives me the same. Some problem with r-api
Ummm... It is installed now.
https://packages.debian.org/buster/r-api-3.5
I really wish that r maintainers had not dropped development.
I know what thats like! The developers of HARDINFO decided to drop support. As such, HARDINFO can't detect modern NVME drives, it never detected mine at least. Thankully, we have other APPS that can do it, or terminal.
Did you remove the arm64 version first before installing the amd64 ?
The arm version didn't install at all. At least I think it didn't
It did not install.
I don't know what to do anymore. I will install Windows and Ubuntu 18.04 in a VM and see if things workout. Even though it's sort of an frustrating experience, this is the first time in almost 3 months using Zorin that I'm having real trouble
In researching this... I can tell you are nowhere near alone in this. Many others have had the exact same troubles with installing r that you describe.
Part of this may be due to it being abandoned and unmaintained, but still useful and available enough that many still rely on it.
That's a shame. I wouldn't worry much about it and would try learning everything on Python, but in the class I'm taking (Chemometrics), the professor uses r so I don't have other option.
Can professor say how they got it installed?
Are you set to Main Server in Software & Updates?
More to try:
sudo apt -y install r-base gdebi-core
Grab this .deb file:
https://download1.rstudio.org/desktop/bionic/amd64/rstudio-2021.09.0-351-amd64.deb
You can open it with gdebi or
sudo gdebi rstudio-2021.09.0-351-amd64.deb
If it works... try launching...
rstudio
On RStudio?
