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 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

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
  • 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.
