Description of issue - I have already installed RStudio in my windows. I need Linux for running some code in RStudio. I installed the Linux (Ubuntu) subsystem from the Microsoft Windows official site and installed it in the same system. I installed RStudio in Linux with all necessary packages. I can open the R script in the terminal, but I can not lunch the RStudio app. It is showing on my startup that I have two RStudio when the windows versions is launching. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated! Thank you so much!

Attempted steps taken to fix - Reinstalled RStudio. Changed internet connection. Reinstalled R packages. downloaded an older version of RStudio (RStudio 4.1.1)

  • RStudio Version: 4.1.1
  • OS Version: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit Version: 22000.856
  • R Version: 4.2.1

On WSL is easier to use RStudio Server, then you can access an RStudio session from a browser.

The server was showing error in installing couple of packages like raster, tidyverse, RStoolbox. I managed to install tidyverse and raster package, but couldn't install RStoolbox. Error messages are:

ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ‘exactextractr’

When I tried to install dependencies, it showed error:

Does anyone has any solution for this? Please help! Thank you so much.

This is a different question not related to the IDE but to the installation of an R package. We like to keep things tidy around here so next time please ask it on a new topic.

In short you are missing a system dependency that you have to install

sudo apt -y install libgdal-dev

Thank you. I tried this, it is still showing same error. I have created a new poll for this problem now.
