Build from source
See https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/blob/master/INSTALL for installation instruction.
To build Rstudio from source in Ubuntu:
- Install R.
- Install Qt 4.
- 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 (note that installing boost will take a few minutes. Make sure there are 2GB memory or will get a memory related error when running make install)
cd rstudio-rstudio-dbf531d # the number at the end depending on the source cd dependencies/linux ./install-dependencies-debian
- Create build directory
mkdir build cd build
- Configure by running cmake
cmake .. -DRSTUDIO_TARGET=Desktop -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
If something is wrong related to boost library, go back to step 1. Then type (installing boost library takes a while)
cd dependencies/linux run ./install-boost
And for some reason, when I try to run cmake (OS is 32-bit LXLE running on VM), I get the following error
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:108 (message): Could NOT find Qt4 (missing: QT_QTWEBKIT_INCLUDE_DIR QT_QTWEBKIT_LIBRARY QT_QTDBUS_INCLUDE DIR QT_QTDBUS_LIBRARY) (found suitable version "4.8.6", minimum required is "4.8.0")
- 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.
