💡 Install tidyverse and other packages
Additional Ubuntu linux packages are needed for 'tidyverse' in R. In Ubuntu terminal:
apt install libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev unixodbc-dev libxml2-dev libmariadb-dev libfontconfig1-dev libharfbuzz-dev libfribidi-dev libfreetype6-dev libpng-dev libtiff5-dev libjpeg-dev
In R, install tidyverse for all users:
install.packages("tidyverse", dependencies = TRUE, INSTALL_opts = '--no-lock')
There are other useful R packages that one can install, for example:
install.packages("openxlsx", lib = '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library', dependencies = TRUE, INSTALL_opts = '--no-lock')
install.packages("knitr", lib = '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library', dependencies = TRUE, INSTALL_opts = '--no-lock')
