I have a Raspberry Pi 4 running Raspbian (Debian buster). I am trying to install a recent version of R. The default R version installed with Debian buster is 3.5.2. This is way out of date and many R packages cannot run on it.

I found this article explaining how to install a more recent version of R. https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/

As described, I added deb http://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian buster-cran40/ to /etc/apt/sources.list.

Then, I used sudo apt update and sudo apt install -t buster-cran40 r-base.

This results in pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt install -t buster-cran40 r-base Reading package lists... Done E: The value 'buster-cran40' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources

Any recommendations for installing a more recent version of R?

  • I have made some progress by running sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key 'E19F5F87128899B192B1A2C2AD5F960A256A04AF'. Now when I run sudo apt install -t buster-cran40 r-base I get The following packages have unmet dependencies: r-base : Depends: r-base-core (>= 4.1.2-1~bustercran.0) but 3.5.2-1 is to be installed Depends: r-recommended (= 4.1.2-1~bustercran.0) but it is not going to be installed Recommends: r-base-html but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
