How To Install r-base-core-dbg on Ubuntu 20.04
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install r-base-core-dbg on Ubuntu 20.04.
What is r-base-core-dbg
r-base-core-dbg is:
R is a system for statistical computation and graphics. It consists of a language plus a run-time environment with graphics, a debugger, access to certain system functions, and the ability to run programs stored in script files.
The design of R has been heavily influenced by two existing languages: Becker, Chambers & Wilks’ S and Sussman’s Scheme. Whereas the resulting language is very similar in appearance to S, the underlying implementation and semantics are derived from Scheme.
The core of R is an interpreted computer language which allows branching and looping as well as modular programming using functions. Most of the user-visible functions in R are written in R. It is possible for the user to interface to procedures written in the C, C++, or FORTRAN languages for efficiency, and many of R’s core functions do so. The R distribution contains functionality for a large number of statistical procedures and underlying applied math computations. There is also a large set of functions which provide a flexible graphical environment for creating various kinds of data presentations.
Additionally, several thousand extension “packages” are available from
CRAN, the Comprehensive R Archive Network, many also as Debian packages,
named ‘r-cran-
This package contains debugging symbol tables for the binaries and dynamic libraries in the r-base-core package.
