| Reading package lists... Done

| So after that:
| sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
| [sudo] password for atakan: 
| 
| And then I check the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory and it was empty, so I tried to create a cran.list file wth gedit and when I tried to save it, it raised an error "Could not save the file, you do not have the permissions necessary....". I am logged in as the administrator, I am not sure how to fix this.

| cat: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cran.list: No such file or directory

Try you try

    sudo gedit /etc/apt.sources.d/cran.list
