Download RStudio Server for Debian & Ubuntu

Prerequisites

RStudio Server requires Debian version 8 (or higher) or Ubuntu version 16.04 (or higher).

Installing R RStudio requires a previous installation of R version 3.0.1 or higher. To install the latest version of R you should first add the CRAN repository to your system as described here:

You can then install R using the following command:

sudo apt-get install r-base

NOTE: if you do not add the CRAN Debian or Ubuntu repository as described above this command will install the version of R corresponding to your current system version. Since this version of R may be a year or two old it is strongly recommended that you add the CRAN repositories so you can run the most up to date version of R.

Install for Debian 8 / Ubuntu 16
