I just installed R on Mojave in Anaconda 3 using:

conda install r-base r-essentials r-irkernel

When I type r I get the following error:

dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libreadline.6.2.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local/anaconda3/lib/R/lib/libR.dylib
  Reason: image not found
Abort trap: 6

I followed the instructions in this issue but it did not help.

Making a new env should be a cleaner install process and is the best practice. For example,

conda create -n r_40 r-base=4.0 r-essentials r-irkernel

Note: I recommend always explicitly specifying a version (including minor) for r-base since this will help constrain conda update --all to stay within the R version. If you need to change the R version, then it is almost always more efficacious to create a new environment.

Generally, the more you can avoid installing in base env, the better your Conda experience will be.

If your Mac is running under zsh shell, try to switch to sh

chsh -s /bin/sh
