-## Install R using your package manager and RStudio
-
-- Follow the instructions for your distribution
- from [CRAN](https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux), they provide information
- to get the most recent version of R for common distributions. For most
- distributions, you could use your package manager (e.g., for Debian/Ubuntu run
- `sudo apt-get install r-base`, and for Fedora `sudo yum install R`), but we
- don't recommend this approach as the versions provided by this are
- usually out of date. In any case, make sure you have at least R 4.2.0.
-- Go to the [RStudio download
- page](https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download)
-- Under *All Installers* select the version that matches your distribution, and
- install it with your preferred method (e.g., with Debian/Ubuntu `sudo dpkg -i rstudio-xxxx.yy.zz-uuu-amd64.deb` at the terminal).
-- Once it's installed, open RStudio to make sure it works and you don't get any
- error messages.
