can't plot in R studio on ubuntu 16.04 - r

HI I installed R with brew install R and then R studio from the deb file.
When I enter R through ubuntu (16.04) terminal and type plot(cars) I get a popup with a plot.
When I enter R through r studio and type plot(cars) I get an error.
By the way I have zlib and gtk+ installed via brew so I'm not sure what's going on.
Your guys help would sure be appreciated.

HI I installed R with brew install R
That is not the best idea given that you are on Ubuntu. We have properly maintained and current R binaries for you here at CRAN. When you use that, 'it all just works'.
Even if you don't use the CRAN apt repo, using the R version that is part of your Ubuntu release will work, albeit possibly an older version.

Unable to start R serve on Windows VSC

I have installed the following extensions to VSC running on Windows: R, R Debugger, and R Tools. Nevertheless, when R server tries to start, I get this error message: Error in loadNamespace(x) : there is no package called 'languageserver'.
I haven't found how to get and install such package. Thanks for your help.
languageserver is a regular R package. Install it from CRAN with install.packages("languageserver"), like with any other package.

Using R package RJulia

I would like to install the R Package JuliaCall, to use Julia from R. I have installed Julia via snap and installed the JuliaCall R package form the Cran.
I received the following error when trying to use the setup function of JuliaCall.
library(JuliaCall)
julia <- julia_setup()
Julia version 1.0.4 at location /snap/julia/13/bin will be used.
Error in dyn.load(.julia$dll_file) :
unable to load shared object '/snap/julia/13/bin/../lib/libjulia.so.1':

Julia is installed:
XRJulia::findJulia()
[1] "/snap/bin/julia"
I have tried some suggestions found in
https://github.com/Non-Contradiction/JuliaCall/issues/72
and even report my problems, but I'm not sure if this is an issue to open on Github or a problem with my installation.
The same error occurs
My system specifications are:
Ubuntu 18.04,
Rstudio 1.1.456,
R 3.5.1,
Julia installed via snap
Thanks for any help you could provide
Actually, the developer of JuliaCall answered my question.
I have installed Julia using snap without noticing that a 32bits version was used. Installing Julia from the .tar.gz archive and choosing the correct 64 bits version solve this problem.
Many Thanks to #Non-Contradiction.

Error: API graphic version incompatible in R

I am using R Studio 1.0.44 and R 3.3.3 in Ubuntu 16.04. Tried to execute a simple plot but it is showing the following message:
Error: API graphic version incompatible
I installed the devtools XML2 and RVG but it still not working.
You'll need to update to RStudio v1.0.153 or later to resolve this.

R can't install devtools or git2r due to lack of zlib on macOS 10.12.3 and 10.12.5

I am trying to install two packages in R (3.3.2): devtools and git2r. They are depending on the existence of zlib. This comes with macOS Sierra (10.12.3) and it's version 1.2.8 by default.
When I'm trying to install these packages I get the error below.
I've been trying a lot of things.
directly installing via CRAN in RStudio: no effect.
trying to locate zlib on macOS: can't find zlib.
installing via R CMD INSTALL git2r: no effect.
I notice someone has a similar issue posted on GitHub: https://github.com/ropensci/git2r/issues. There is no solution yet.
Does anyone here have an idea?
Thanks!
Sander
ERROR MESSAGE BELOW
configure error in "/private/tmp/RtmpP6HZFx/R.INSTALLe73412909267/git2r"
configure error
The zlib library that is required to build git2r was not found.
Please install:
zlib1g-dev (package on e.g. Debian and Ubuntu)
zlib-devel (package on e.g. Fedora, CentOS and RHEL)
and try again.
If the zlib library is installed on your system but the git2r configuration is unable to find it, you can specify the include and lib path to zlib with:
"R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--with-zlib-include=INCLUDE_PATH --with-zlib-lib=LIB_PATH' git2r"
See "config.log" for more details
ERROR: configuration failed for package "git2r"

UPDATE: the same issue persists on macOS X 10.12.5 in combination with R 3.4.0 - the latter I need for DESeq2.
Solution...Mmm. Not really. I simply uninstalled R and all the packages, and than I reinstalled everything again. I installed R and RStudio via homebrew, following the instructions here: https://rud.is/b/2015/10/22/installing-r-on-os-x-100-homebrew-edition/.
Oddly enough: all issues disappeared.
UPDATE #1: this solution does not - obviously - work for the combination R 3.4.0 and macOS X 10.12.5. We need a solution for this issue.
UPDATE #2: I have discovered what I believe was the issue: a wrong path to the xcode command line tools.
sudo xcode-select --reset did the trick and now xcode-select -p points to /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools. And which xcode-select points to /usr/bin/xcode-select. Googling I discovered that it is not needed to install Xcode through the App Store as it states on http://railsapps.github.io/xcode-command-line-tools.html:
"On earlier versions of macOS, it was more difficult to install Xcode Command Line Tools. It required a huge download of the full Xcode package from the Mac App Store or registration as an Apple developer for a smaller Command Line Tools package. Mac OS X Mavericks made installation of Xcode Command Line Tools much simpler.".
i was having the same problem. i have a note 8(samsung). just go to GitHub and install zlib from there.

I am trying to install package manipulate : message = not available for r 3.1.1

windows 7 -pro
r studio 0.98.945
r 3.1.1
I am trying to install manipulate:
install.packages("manipulate").
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘manipulate’ is not available (for R version 3.1.1)
is this package not available or is something wrong in my machine or how to get it ?
thanks for all update/help
best regards, Guy Przytula
It's not on CRAN. It's usually installed as part of the RStudio install process. I'd suggest to re-install RStudio.
Another possibility is offered by the RStudio support:
1.) The easiest workaround is to just install the package manually from its location in Program Files - you can zip up the C:\Program
Files\RStudio\R\library\manipulate folder and install it using
install.packages() - this will get the manipulate package installed
and running.
If that doesn't solve your issues, you should post at the RStudio support forum.
