Title: Statistics Program R installed, does not run
Post by: Steff260 on October 01, 2018, 03:13:57 PM

Wanted to install the statistics program R see here: https://ftp.fau.de/cran/

outcome

no error message; icon available in menu, nothing happens when clicked, no error message, program r can be found in the USR folder, as well as in the synaptic package manager, there you can see that about 400 packages of r were not installed, but only a few

question

How can I get the program R to run?

How do I install programs in LITE that are not in the package manager?
