I am trying configure RSPM with Linux Mint 20.3 which is a focal-based Ubuntu distribution.
Here is a screenshot of my .Rprofile
.
It looks like that RSPM is not able to redirect to the proper version of the binaries and decides to install packages from sources (RStudio Package Manager: Admin Guide, section 18.3.3).
Are there any ways to bypass this? I know I can force it by using this URL https://packagemanager.rstudio.com/cran/__linux__/focal/latest
, but I'd rather like to use https://packagemanager.rstudio.com/all/latest
if possible.
Cheers,
Phil
Hi Phil,
Great question! We have instructions on configuring the user-agent header in the documentation here.
Please note that Linux Mint isn't an officially supported distribution, but as you said, it is a focal-based Ubuntu distribution, so it should work just fine. However, we'd like to hear about any ABI complications if you do run into them.
I hope you're enjoying RStudio Package Manager and these binaries speed up your workflow
Cheers,
Tyler
Hi Taylor and thank you for your answer. Indeed, I really like RSPM, works like a charm. I will try to manually set up the use-agent header and see if I can get it working with https://packagemanager.rstudio.com/all/latest
All the bests,
Phil
