I remember when I was starting out learning R, Git and GitHub were things I had heard about, but only vaguely understood. Join me as I walk through everything you need to do in order to use Git and GitHub alongside RStudio.īut first, some background … What is Git? What is GitHub? But getting everything set up can be a challenge. I have updated this guide to use the full key out of security concerns (see here, for example).Using Git and GitHub alongside RStudio has the power to revolutionize how you work in R. (replacing with whichever CRAN mirror URL you chose in step 1)ġ I put here the full key, though many other guides you may see will use only the "short key." You need to use sudo echo "deb bionic-cran35/" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list The only difference is that instead of the command sudo echo "deb xenial/" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list Since both Linux Mint and R have seen upgrades since I answered this question, I'm updating for those who come to this answer needing the info for Linux Mint 19 and R 3.6.x. Start a new R session and run the following: update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE, ask=FALSE) If not, I highly recommend you install it via sudo apt install r-base-dev. Note also that I have put to upgrade r-base and r-base-dev, but I don't know if you have r-base-dev installed. Sudo echo "deb xenial/" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list Open a terminal and enter the following commands 1 (replacing with whichever CRAN mirror URL you chose in step 1): sudo apt-key adv -keyserver -recv-keys E298A3A825C0D65DFD57CBB651716619E084DAB9 The terminal commands below assume you choose Step 2 Go to CRAN's list of mirrors and find the URL of the mirror that is closest to you. So, for completeness, these are all the steps you'd need to take: Step 1 I also typically use the approach here to deal with packages I've already installed when I upgrade R rather than the approach offered by FedRo. The link provided by FedRo is a good resource, however a slight change would need to be made since you're using Linux Mint 18.1 which uses Xenial repositories rather than Trusty repositories (see here). Note: I now keep on GitHub ( here) an up-to-date guide to upgrading R on Linux Mint or Ubuntu Linux, which also includes a bit of extra information about system dependencies for tidyverse, the popular set of data-wrangling packages, as well as devtools, the popular R package development.
