[R-sig-Debian] Can't install package tidyverse on Debian 10 stable
(my reply accidentally came out of the wrong email account, sorry, so I am resending it so it makes it to the list) -----Original Message----- From: Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd at debian.org> To: Tyler Smith <tyler at plantarum.ca> Cc: r-sig-debian at r-project.org Subject: Re: [R-sig-Debian] Can't install package tidyverse on Debian 10 stable Date: Fri, 23 Jul 2021 19:29:08 -0500 Luben, Adding to what Tyler kindly said: On 23 July 2021 at 19:35, Tyler Smith wrote:> libcurl and libcurl4-openssl-dev are Debian packages, not R packages. > You can install them from the command line (not R): > sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev > Or use your package manager.Depending on exactly _which_ Debian (or Ubuntu) flavour you use you also canget *ALL* of the tidyverse *IN ONE SHOT* as binaries. I have several posts (and demos !!) on that below http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/code/r4/ Thank you Tyler and Dirk! I was able to install it using the commands on your site Dirk (I pasted them below)! I was not able to get out of the screen after mg /etc/R/Rprofile.sitedespite trying Q, q, quit, q(), ESC, ... so had to run the last command in a different terminal window. Super helpful, I think I will ask the tidyverse folks to have your commands and URL in their installation instructions! Thank you very much!!!! $ apt-get update$ apt-get install r-base libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl- dev libxml2-dev$ apt-get install mg # a tiny editor$ mg /etc/R/Rprofile.site # to add a default CRAN repo$ R -e 'install.packages("tidyverse")' so take a look and read up, and please come back here with questions. It isa difficult step to get all of tidyverse (or, say, rstan) but we *do* have inbinaries. This is very much worth learning about methinks.
