Apt stores a list of repositories (software channels) in the sources.list file. There are other ways of doing this but adding an entry to the sources.list file is apparently the prefered option.

You can then install the complete R system, by typing the following in the console: You just need to add the repository above then save and close This will open the sources.list file in gedit. I used a small utility called gksudo to open and modify the sources.list file. Actually this is a bit tricky because you need admin rights to modify the sources.list file. An entry like : trusty/ has to be added to the /etc/apt/sources.list file, replacing by the actual URL of your favorite CRAN mirror (see for the list of CRAN mirrors). The latest version can be obtained from CRAN. Ubuntu 14.04 ships with R but it’s not the latest version. Just follow the instructions on the website it’s very simple. I used a small utility called Rufus for this.

Go to Ubuntu website and download the version that matches your system.In this post I explain step by step what I did: bear in mind that I’m a Linux absolute beginner. It took me about 20 mins to erase completely Windows, install Linux and start playing with R/Rstudio: simply amazing…. Last week I installed Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) on an old Windows laptop. Things have changed dramatically since then. I remmember struggling for days with a simple Wifi connection because drivers were not readily available. At that time pretty much everything on Linux was done in the console. My last experience with Linux was back in 2002/2003.
