[R-sig-Debian] Installing packages

[James Daly]

Hello,

I am a brand new Linux user running Ubuntu 20.04. Apologies if my question
is extremely basic.

In R, I am having trouble downloading some packages (apaTables, apaStyle,
OpenMx, MBESS, gsl). This post
<https://blog.zenggyu.com/en/post/2018-01-29/installing-r-r-packages-e-g-tidyverse-and-rstudio-on-ubuntu-linux/>
makes me think that the problem is that they reference non-R packages.
However, I don't know what to do about it. Can anybody help me?

Any advice for a new Linux user would be appreciated, too! I am considering
hopping to another distro, possibly Debian, once I get the hang of it.

Thanks,
Jimmy
