What can I do to install RStudio correctly? I am in Manjaro and everything else is updated so far.

Hi, all

I just build and failed the package according to hopimet comments here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rstudio-desktop-bin.

However, even I followed the exact instructions there, and also installed r-openssl, I still get this message when I open the application:

### Error Information:

I also deleted all my startup files .Rprofile, .Renviron, etc.
I removed directories ~/.local/share/rstudio and ~/.config/RStudio

This is a system dependency. In Ubuntu, I'd install with

sudo apt-get update; sudo install libssl-dev

You are missing this system dependency or is not preperly configured. I'm not a Manjaro user so I don't know how to install it but a quick Google search says this should work

sudo pacman -S openssl-1.1

Hi, @andresrcs

I'm sorry, I forgot to tell, I have installed both packages, r-openssl and openssl:

~ $ pamac install openssl
Preparing...
Warning: openssl-3.0.7-4 is up to date -- skipping
Nothing to do.
Transaction successfully finished.

~ $ pamac search r-openssl
umurmur-openssl   0.2.17-1   AUR   Minimalistic Mumble server; built with openssl

r-openssl   [Installed] 2.0.5-2   AUR 
    Encryption, Signatures and Certificates Based on OpenSSLi

However, I was told in Manjaro forum that I need openssl-1.1 package, not plain openssl, so I installed that and now it works.

I leave here this solution just in case someone else bump into it.
