Luben,

Depending on exactly _which_ Debian (or Ubuntu) flavour you use you
also canget *ALL* of the tidyverse *IN ONE SHOT* as binaries.
I have several posts (and demos !!) on that below
  http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/code/r4/

Thank you Tyler and Dirk! I was able to install it using the commands
on your site Dirk (I pasted them below)! I was not able to get out of
the screen after mg /etc/R/Rprofile.sitedespite trying Q, q, quit, q(),
ESC, ... so had to run the last command in a different terminal window.
Super helpful, I think I will ask the tidyverse folks to have your
commands and URL in their installation instructions!
Thank you very much!!!!
$ apt-get update$ apt-get install r-base libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-
dev libxml2-dev$ apt-get install mg          # a tiny editor$ mg
/etc/R/Rprofile.site     # to add a default CRAN repo$ R -e
'install.packages("tidyverse")'

so take a look and read up, and please come back here with
questions.  It isa difficult step to get all of tidyverse (or, say,
rstan) but we *do* have inbinaries.  This is very much worth learning
about methinks.
Cheers, Dirk
