Existing documentation<\/a> for installing iNZight on Ubuntu covers a wide range of possible scenarios in Step 1. For my own specific case, however, I needed to translate it into a series of precise step-by-step instructions.<\/p>\n

So here are the instructions that worked for me for Step 1. Once that is done, just follow steps 2 onwards<\/a> in the official docs.

\nSTEP 1 STEP-BY-STEP<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is probably best you don’t already have R already installed. And if you’re using iNZight, you probably won’t. But if you do, purge it! Installation may or may not work depending on the version of R you install so remove one source of difference from what the support people will have tested.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. ctrl-alt-t<\/code> to open terminal window<\/li>\n
  2. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E084DAB9<\/code><\/li>\n
  3. sudo gedit \/etc\/apt\/sources.list<\/code>
    \n
    and then append
    \ndeb-src http:\/\/cran.stat.auckland.ac.nz\/bin\/linux\/ubuntu saucy\/<\/code>
    \nNote: must have trailing slash (\/) at end\n<\/li>\n
  4. Click on “Save” button on toolbar or enter ctrl s on keyboard to save<\/li>\n
  5. sudo apt-get update<\/code><\/li>\n
  6. sudo apt-get install r-base<\/code><\/li>\n
  7. Open R by typing R into terminal<\/li>\n
  8. From R prompt:
    \nupdate.packages(ask = FALSE)<\/code><\/p>\n

    y to everything<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  9. q(\"no\")<\/code>\n

    to quit the R prompt.<\/li>\n

  10. Then follow steps 2 onwards in the official instructions …<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
