Errors were encountered while processing: rstudio

Hello, I am trying to install RStudio on my Ubuntu 20.04 laptop amd64, using the "rstudio-2022.07.2-576-
amd64.deb" file from terminal:

sudo dpkg -i rstudio-2022.07.2-576-amd64.deb

When I try to install it, the console gives the message :

Selecting previously unselected package rstudio.
(Reading database ... 101896 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack rstudio-2022.07.2-576-amd64.deb ...

I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and am trying to install the latest version of R Studio available for Ubuntu. I was able to install R without any difficulty.

There might be a very easy solution or I may be doing the installation wrong. I am both new to Ubuntu and R.

Thank you very much for your help.
Best Regards

I suspect you are simply using the wrong installer, try with this link

https://download1.rstudio.org/desktop/bionic/amd64/rstudio-2022.07.2-576-amd64.deb

Also, you could try with gdebi to handle any missing dependency

sudo gdebi studio-2022.07.2-576-amd64.deb

Thanks, I solved it by following this:

Ubuntu Packages For R - Brief Instructions (r-project.org)

Those are instructions for installing R and package binaries, not for installing RStudio, they are not related to the error messages you showed in your first post.
