I am trying to launch an R instance in AWS EC2. I have opted for the free tier and use the Amazon Linux AMI. In user data I have specified in the following manner to install R and Rstudio:
#!/bin/bash
# install R
yum install -y R
# install RStudio-Server
wget https://download2.rstudio.org/server/centos6/x86_64/rstudio-server-rhel-1.2.5033-
x86_64.rpm
yum install -y --nogpgcheck rstudio-server-rhel-1.2.5033-x86_64.rpm
yum install -y curl-devel
yum install -y openssl openssl-devel
# add user
useradd forecasting
echo forecasting:testing | chpasswd
However, the R version is not the latest one - how do I modify this code to download the latest version of R?
Using the instructions in this installing R for RStudio link, I think the following might work for Centos 6. Unfortunately I can't check it, but it might give you something to work from.
#!/bin/bash
# install R runtime dependencies
yum install epel-release
# set R version
R_VERSION=3.6.2
# download and install R
wget https://cdn.rstudio.com/r/centos-6/pkgs/R-${R_VERSION}-1-1.x86_64.rpm
yum install -y R-${R_VERSION}-1-1.x86_64.rpm
# install RStudio-Server
wget https://download2.rstudio.org/server/centos6/x86_64/rstudio-server-rhel-1.2.5033-
x86_64.rpm
yum install -y --nogpgcheck rstudio-server-rhel-1.2.5033-x86_64.rpm
yum install -y curl-devel
yum install -y openssl openssl-devel
# add user
useradd forecasting
echo forecasting:testing | chpasswd
I like to install "rgl" package version 0.100.19 (since the other package depends on this version) in anaconda/jupyter notebook environment and received error.
configure: error: X11 not found but required, configure aborted
I tried
sudo apt-get install xorg
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev
sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev
sudo apt-get install r-cran-rgl
conda install -c conda-forge xorg-libx11
conda install -c anaconda mesa
but, they did not help yet.
install.packages("rgl")
configure: error: X11 not found but required, configure aborted
I came across this problem, my solution was to:
$ conda install r-rgl
It seems like the conda install goes to the conda R (see this with which R), and the way I found to get rgl installed on conda's R version was via conda install.
I am trying to install R by trying the following command on Ubuntu 18.04x64:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install r-base
following this tutorial (step 6)
but I get :
I tried to solve it with :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev
based on this answer but I still take the same error. Any suggestions?
I am getting this error and i have tried every other solution related to this given on stackoverflow but still not able to install the package.Please suggest a solution.And how can i install any R package using source on linux?
You can try the following:
In shell:
sudo yum install -y epel-release
sudo yum install glibc-common
sudo yum install -y rpm-build make wget tar libxml2-devel
In R:
install.packages('xml2')
Instructions are adapted from https://github.com/opencpu/opencpu-server/tree/master/rpm#readme
Please let me know if it works.
I am installing R. I am getting this error when runing ./configure :
checking for history_truncate_file... no
configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not available
Any hint,
Thanks
Use the following command will solve this problem
./configure --with-readline=no --with-x=no
--with-x=no turns off the X Windows System . It is the GUI for the Linux and Unix-like OS. My computer has no X Windows installed, so I turn off.
But I highly recommand to install readline library before R installtion with '--with-readline=yes', as the command operation style is quitely unfriendly with '--with-readline=no' . See more libreadline installation in linux for more details
you can use the following command for more install configuration details
./configure --help
on I found problem on compiling R 3.1.1 so as a part of solution , i recommend to install the below libraries first before you compile this R and use
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install fort77
sudo apt-get install xorg-dev
sudo apt-get install liblzma-dev libblas-dev gfortran
sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib
sudo apt-get install gobjc++
sudo apt-get install aptitude
sudo aptitude install libreadline-dev
Thank you other people who posted and kept the knowledge going..
I think you need the GNU readline package. You can install it with apt-get, aptitude, or the appropiate tool for your distribution. In Ubuntu:
aptitude install libreadline-dev
On Linux version 2.6.18-371.3.1.el5 (centos) the following worked for me
yum install readline-devel
and use --with-x=no in configure option as mentioned by others
I added this in the file taken here:

The error means your system cannot find the required package. On Ubuntu, you can refer to this document to install all missing dependencies. It works for R 4.0
