I've made an installation for R and R Studio for Ubuntu 18.04. The intention is to have a working R Studio installation with the typical packages used in typical data wrangling. The script is as follows:
# Install R
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gdebi libxml2-dev libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libopenblas-dev r-base r-base-dev
# Install RStudio
cd ~/Downloads
wget https://download1.rstudio.org/rstudio-xenial-1.1.447-amd64.deb
sudo gdebi rstudio-xenial-1.1.447-amd64.deb
printf '\nexport QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk\n' | sudo tee -a ~/.profile
# Install common packages
R --vanilla << EOF
install.packages(c("tidyverse","data.table","dtplyr","devtools","roxygen2","bit64","readr"), repos = "https://cran.rstudio.com/")
q()
EOF
# Install TDD packages
install.packages("testthis")
# Export to HTML/Excel
R --vanilla << EOF
install.packages(c("htmlTable","openxlsx"), repos = "https://cran.rstudio.com/")
q()
EOF
# Blog tools
R --vanilla << EOF
install.packages(c("knitr","rmarkdown"), repos='http://cran.us.r-project.org')
q()
EOF
sudo apt install python-pip
sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo -H pip install markdown rpy2==2.7.1 pelican==3.7.1
sudo -H pip3 install markdown rpy2==2.9.3 pelican==3.7.1
# PDF extraction tools
sudo apt install libpoppler-cpp-dev default-jre default-jdk r-cran-rjava
sudo R CMD javareconf
R --vanilla << EOF
library(devtools)
install.packages("pdftools", repos = "https://cran.rstudio.com/")
install_github("ropensci/tabulizer")
q()
EOF
# TTF/OTF fonts usage
sudo apt install libfreetype6-dev
R --vanilla << EOF
install.packages("showtext", repos = "https://cran.rstudio.com/")
q()
EOF
# Cairo for graphic devices
sudo apt install libgtk2.0-dev libxt-dev libcairo2-dev
R --vanilla << EOF
install.packages("Cairo", repos = "https://cran.rstudio.com/")
q()
EOF
The script is also available here. It is based on a similar script for 17.10, available here. The script and the resulting RStudio-installation has been tested on Ubuntu Bungie 18.04 4.15.0-20-generic. Everything seems to work perfectly (so far...).
I have added all the packages that I usually use for general data wrangling. However, I am new to TDD in R, and the only package I have used so far for R-TDD is testthat3. That package has got me covered, but are there other TDD-related packages that should be added to a script like this?
