Hello readers,
Today As of the time of writing this article there is no any official specific RStudio available for Ubuntu 20.04 (Code-name: focal) but Rstudio for Ubuntu 18.04 works fine for Ubuntu 20.04. I am using R studio in 20.04 for a weak ago and it's working fine for me.
Now visit the RStudio downloads page and check for it to grab the latest release of RStudio for Debian based Linux distributions "Ubuntu 18/" or if available "Ubuntu 20/" download .deb file from here.
Here in this article, we’ll dive to the installation of Open source edition of RStudio released under AGPL License.
Steps to Install RStudio:
Update system
Update System package index (this is the good practice) and optionally upgrade all installed package.
- sudo apt update

Install R on Ubuntu/Debian
At this point, we’re ready to install R with the following command.
We need to install r-base package which contains the basic R functions that let you perform basic R programming and arithmetic operations. Use the command below to install.
- sudo apt -y install r-base
If prompted to confirm installation, press y to continue.
verify your R Installation
- sudo -i R
This confirms that we’ve successfully installed R and entered its interactive shell.
Exit to the shell
press "ctrl+z"
