Welcome to Ubuntu Tutorial. In this article, we are going to learn how to install R on Ubuntu 19.04 Disco Dingo. If you are running Windows 10, please visit our previous tutorial to install R on Windows 10. R is special programming software that supports Windows, Mac, and Linux. I would like to create more tutorials about R in this blog.
Steps to Install R on Ubuntu
Step 1. Add R repository
Open the sources.list file and add the following line to it:
deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu disco-cran35/
In this case, I use nano to edit the file
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
And here is the screenshot of my sources.list file

R Studio is an IDE for R. I will guide you to install R Studio on Ubuntu 19.04. R Studio is a great application that can be used to build and code your R script. It comes with a complete set of tools, nice user interface and pretty easy to use. To install R Studio, please follow these steps
Save the file in your Download directory. To install, simply right-click on the DEB file and select Open with Software Install.
