RStudio Server on Ubuntu 22.04 (WSL)

After trying the directions here for installing RStudio Server on Ubuntu 22.04, I'm still getting the following error:

Dependency is not satisfiable: libssl1.0.0|libssl1.0.2|libssl1.1

I am using R 4.3.2, following all of the instructions listed here. I also tried the most recent daily without any luck.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

A post from Apr 2022 on the same problem, which is that Jammy is on v3 of the library, linked to this kludge


You can force the installation of libssl1.1 by adding the ubuntu 20.04 source:

echo "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/focal-security.list

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libssl1.1
Then use your commands to install 

Then delete the focal-security list file you just created:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/focal-security.list

I would pass given the potential grief of being so far out of bounds. Consider dockerizing Ubuntu focal and put RStudio there
