Hi, rstudio is very easy to install, but it would be great if it were just an apt-get away. Is there a reason it is not in Ubuntu main repos or in rrutter PPA? Kind regards, Xu

Thank you for the knowledge. And thank you for your dedication to this list and for all of your great work! Kind regards, Xu
Thanks so much for your explanatory details JJ and for all of your work. It is highly appreciated! I wonder if Qt 5.6 will be in the default repos for 16.04. That make a nice time for things to come together.

Very hacky but it works: https://launchpad.net/~opencpu/+archive/ubuntu/rstudio

Very hacky but it > works: https://launchpad.net/~opencpu/+archive/ubuntu/rstudioGood to know. Thank you Jeroen! I just need it for being lazy to download the .deb and install myself. Also I have an install script for Ubuntu where I just install all of my favorite applications with a very simple apt-get. That is one thing I love about the repos. I can get back up and to work very quickly if my laptop breaks or is stolen. Kind regards, Xu

But thank you very much for trying! I really appreciate your effort. Perhaps there is a chance we can get it into 16.10?

OK thank you for your reply! It is too bad the environment is not right yet in Ubuntu, but I will keep hoping that things work out. Thank you for all of your work!

Dear All, I try not to bump too much, but I just tried Ubuntu 18.04, and it is not in repo and I still do not see any PPA available. If it would help, I can spend the time to explain why I believe it helpful to install using a command rather than webbrowser, but I think this is already understood why helpful, but it seems there is just a technical tricky problem to solve to implementation. Thank you so much for all of your works. I'm sorry to insist on this issue. Let me know if there is something I can help for testing.
