My reply to Dirk crossed with your incoming message Johannes. Thanks both. More inline below.

At that point I went back to installing the default 3.5.2 and installing packages in Raspian but I couldn't get the shiny server to install ending up with an "Exec format error" in the installation. Seeing that shiny server is supported for Ubuntu but not for Raspian I then install Ubuntu on the machine and that got me R 3.6.3 using the code at https://github.com/Aypak/shiny_server_rpi4 and it goes most of the way to installing shiny server, see: https://github.com/Aypak/shiny_server_rpi4/issues/2 I realise that this is now well off the subject line so I will stop here but if anyone has any thoughts about that error, I would love to hear from them. I will wait longer to see if Aypak has advice and will continue things to the Rstudio support fora. > Johannes > > P.S.: Of course, if someone would once again upload R to buster-backports (and > after the release of bullseye to bullseye-backports), this would be no problem > any more. But that depends on one of the Debian devs to decide they want to > maintain such a backport. I confess I didn't understand that but I think it's above my pay grade and abilities to get into that! However, if I can help in some no doubt very small way getting R 4.0.? on Ubuntu on the Pi I would certainly try but I'm no potential maintainer! Many thanks both for your inputs and apologies for not knowing my ARM from my AMD/Intel!!
