how can I update R to version 4 on ubuntu
I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS. I'm using R version 3.6.3. Some packages is not in there. Therefore I need R version 4. or higher than 4.
I tried those things:
sudo -H gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
then I added this line: deb http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/linux/ubuntu focal/
then
sudo apt-get update
and sudo apt-get install r-base
but it doesnt work.
Somebody help me?
The R guide to install on Ubuntu has already covered this, I tried the command and it seems to give R 4.0. Result of apt-cache policy
.
$ apt-cache policy r-base
r-base:
