See https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/blob/master/INSTALL for installation instruction.
To build Rstudio from source in Ubuntu:
- Install R.
- Download a release version tarball of source code. Do not grab from github master branch. Sometimes the preview version works but the release version cannot be compiled. For example, the release version 0.98.507 would give a build error from /opt/QRstudio-QtSDK/Desktop/4.8.0/gcc/include/QtCore/gstring.h, but the preview version 0.98.836 (May 11th, 2014) works fine.
- Make sure git is installed/available.
- Install dependencies
cd rstudio-rstudio-dbf531d # the number differs dependencies/linux/install-dependencies-debian
- Create build directory
mkdir build cd build
- Configure by running cmake
cmake .. -DRSTUDIO_TARGET=Desktop -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
- Build and Install
sudo make install
For RStudio Desktop on Linux, make install automatically creates an entry in the Applications -> Programming menu for RStudio. The rstudio can be launched by /usr/local/lib/rstudio/bin/rstudio.
