Problem with Rcmdr

Every time I load Rcmdr, it wants to install some dependencies, though I do it every time, and also some times when I call Recommender it does not respond and I have to restart Rstudio, it was working good on Ubuntu 18, but after installing ubuntu 20, I am facing all these problems, please help.

Rcmdr is no longer compatible with RStudio, if you have also updated your RStudio version then that would be the reason.
You can still launch Rcmdr from the R GUI
