Hi,
Thanks for that.
the way I tried is as follows:
1) Downloaded the r-base package
2) went in that directory where the r-base package was downloaded from
command line
3) entered the command
sudo apt-get install r-base
But got the error, that Couldn't find r-base command.
I don't understand where I went I wrong.
I will definitely try the following commands.
Thanks,
Shreyasee
