Unable to Install RStudio

[Kilomay1]

I have a fresh install of Linux Mint 21.1 x86_64, cinnamon 5.6.8.

I have successfully installed 'R' statistical programming language. I also want to install RStudio which is an IDE for R.

This software can be found here: https://support--rstudio-com.netlify.a ... #download

In that website, I am trying to install the option available for Ubuntu18/Debian10.

When I download the rstudio-1.4.1106-amd64.deb file and double-click it to begin installation, I receive the error:

Code: Select all

 Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libssl 1.0.0 | libssl 1.0.2 | libssl 1.1 

To diagnose, I ran the command:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-cache policy libssl-dev

and got the output:

Code: Select all

  
  Installed: 3.0.2-0ubuntu1.8
  Candidate: 3.0.2-0ubuntu1.8
  Version table:
 *** 3.0.2-0ubuntu1.8 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     3.0.2-0ubuntu1 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages

This suggests I have the latest libssl package. However, I also tried installing libssl1.1 specifically using the command:

Code: Select all

 sudo apt install libssl1.1 

I got the output:

Code: Select all

Package libssl1.1 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

How do I go about installing RStudio on my laptop?

(Full disclosure: I am not an RStudio user, nor have I ever installed it.) I am curious why you are downloading software from that particular website instead of Posit's actual RStudio website. The current version is 2023.03.0. It looks like the 1.4.1106 version was released over two years ago, before they changed their numbering scheme.

Oh my God! The RStudio website that I gave as a link was what turned up when I search for it on my search engine. Never realised they had switched sites.
It is downloading installing fine now. Thank you so very much!

I am new here, how do I mark this problem as "solved"?

Mint 21.1 is based on Ubuntu 22.04, which is 2 LTS versions newer than Ubuntu 18.04. So the base packages required are very different.
