How to run an R program in Ubuntu?

Question

Can anyone tell me how to run the R program in Ubuntu?

Answer 1

One benefit of using R in the Ubuntu operating system is that Ubuntu repositories consist of R in it. You just need to install it using the below command:

>sudo apt install r-base

By this, you may get an older version of R. To install the latest version, you should visit cran.r-project.org. Here, you can download and install the latest version of R. Then, you can use a single command to run the console:

>R

In this R console, you can run R commands, and here are a few of the basic commands that you can run in the R console:

> 100+20

[1] 120

> print ("Hello R Programmers!")

[1] "Hello R Programmers!"
