System Dependencies of R Packages

Many R packages require system packages to be installed. An R package will fail to compile and install if its system dependencies are not available. We recommend installing these system requirements before your data science team begins deploying content to Posit Connect.

Different packages and commands are provided for each supported distribution. Depending on your user permissions, you might need to use sudo to run these commands.

These installation commands are available from Posit Public Package Manager. If you are using a self-managed Posit Package Manager instance, the same installation commands are available on the setup page for your repository and on the details page for each package.
