Dirk, I am grateful for all the work and volunteer hours you put into this! And I appreciate the time you and others take to help us newbies. All the frustration I was expressing (for not being able to install tidyverse) was all on me. It was not in any way a criticism.  Your articles are great,

Luben, We all have different types of learning and how we approach this, let alone how we decompose things. With that, sorry you found this frustrating. Many of us put volunteer time into this trying to make things 'possible' and preferably 'easy' but we don't always get there. That said, I

Facu, I have spent over 20 hours in the last week or so trying to install that single package, tidyverse,  and have tried many things suggested on many sites without success.  I did have the "deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu jammy-cran40/" in my sources list all along I finally

Luben, Yes, I've seen the other thread, but didn't dig into the scripts to see what might be failing. In any case, I can assure you that you can install tidyverse on Mint without any trouble. I suggest you run the installation scripts manually, line by line, trying to understand what you are

Facu, I have a separate thread for this, but I think this is the best place to ask you about it - have you been able to install tidyverse on your Linux Mint? This is my next hoop to jump through... On Tue, 2024-01-02 at 10:27 +0100, Facundo Muñoz wrote: > Hi Luben, > > For what is worth, I've

Hi Luben, For what is worth, I've been a RStudio-on-Mint user for many years now and never had major problems. You just need to proceed as if you were using the upstream Ubuntu version corresponding to your Mint version. E.g. : cat /etc/upstream-release/lsb-release I agree with Dirk in that

Dirk, Tank you for your response this late in the day. I had Debian, but couldn't get it to work on my new work computer (and can't get Linux help from our IT), hence Linux Mint now.  Because of the issues you mentioned with Posit, and others, I have been thinking about using Emacs instead of

Luben, I am glad to hear you sorted it out. As far as I can tell there are two or three issues here: - you are on Mint which is not 'officially' support by posit (Debian/Ubuntu are) - the installation instructions have said for a decade+ to download the .deb and then install it with gdebi

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
