I'm on Ubuntu. R is definitely installed - I can launch it and I can see its folder in bin/.

How can I tell if r-base-dev is installed?

Will installing r-base-dev fix the issues I'm having with missing system packages with I try to install.packages("tidyverse")?

Many thanks!

    `dpkg -l r-base-dev` tells you whether it's installed. As to whether installing it will fix installation errors you are seeing from attempting to install ‘tidyverse’, the error message should *usually* tell you which system dependencies need to be installed. – Konrad Rudolph Mar 28 '23 at 15:23
  • there are also various ways to install package binaries on ubuntu which can take care of dependencies : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59383251/how-to-install-r-package-binaries-on-linux-just-like-on-windows (and cran link: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/fullREADME.html) – user20650 Mar 28 '23 at 15:55
