Hello I am trying to install reader onto my Ubuntu VPS. I only have 1 GB of RAM which is why I can not install it. I came across Dirk's post R (Ubuntu) - Can't install packages "readr" and "eurostat" where he explained the work around.
apt-get update # refresh
apt-get install software-properties-common
add-apt-repository -y "ppa:marutter/rrutter"
add-apt-repository -y "ppa:marutter/c2d4u"
apt-get update # now with new repos
apt-get install r-cran-readr
However, when I run the code. The final line gives me this error:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
r-cran-readr : Depends: r-api-3.4
Depends: r-cran-rcpp but it is not going to be installed
Depends: r-cran-tibble but it is not going to be installed
Depends: r-cran-hms but it is not going to be installed
Depends: r-cran-r6 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I was able to install all the packages separately and tried running the code again. I got the same error. I am not to sure what my next steps should be.
Edit**
I am trying to follow Dirk's advice in the comment section. I am having a difficult time understanding what to do with the "deb" file. Once I have the deb link
deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/
Some sources to me to run the command
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E084DAB9
However, I recieve this error.
keyserver receive failed: No dirmngr
It seems like I have to add the deb link to a directory. I am brand new to Ubuntu and the shell. If someone could explain this to me in simple terms that would be greatly appreciated.
