How to install R programming language?

User_VH8NJ

Hello. I am coming from fedora and it is straight forward to install R language by using:-

"sudo dnf install R"

But in oracle linux I got the following error.

[[email protected] ~]$ sudo yum install R

Error:

 Problem: package R-4.0.4-1.el8.x86_64 requires R-devel = 4.0.4-1.el8, but none of the providers can be installed

 - package R-devel-4.0.4-1.el8.x86_64 requires R-core-devel = 4.0.4-1.el8, but none of the providers can be installed

 - cannot install the best candidate for the job

 - nothing provides openblas-devel needed by R-core-devel-4.0.4-1.el8.x86_64

 - nothing provides texinfo-tex needed by R-core-devel-4.0.4-1.el8.x86_64

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

Note: I all ready installed the oracle-epel-release-el8.x86_64 rpm package, but the issue is the same .

Kindly advise me. And thank you.

You need to enable the CodeReady Builder repository as well:

# dnf config-manager --enable ol8_codeready_builder
# dnf install  oracle-epel-release-el8
# dnf install R

Thanks it did work.

Sorry But I cant seem to install rstudio desktop and server? Please advise me.

Those may not be packaged or released for RHEL/CentOS and thus may not be available on Oracle Linux. If they're available in a CentOS 8 repo, let me know and I can look into it.

The following link mentions that there is a package for centos 8.

Download the RStudio IDE - RStudio

I believe also that there could be a repository from rstudio, but I didn't find it.

You could download and install that RPM for RHEL8 on Oracle Linux 8. A repo should work too, if you find one.
