Installing rstudio on Ubuntu 16.04

When I try to install 1.2.747 in Ubuntu 16.04 I get this:
sudo dpkg -i Downloads/rstudio*.deb

(Reading database ... 581028 files and directories currently installed.)

There are no messages for unmet dependencies nor any other messages. Nothing happens when I try to start rstudio.

I think you need to install r-base first

sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev

and then proceed to install RStudio

sudo apt-get install gdebi-core

get the .deb from here: Download RStudio - RStudio

sudo gdebi rstudio*.deb
