Arrgghhh. SO embarrassing. I had completely forgotten that it was an ARM CPU!!!
Anyone got any advice on getting R 4.0.? (and then shiny I was hoping) onto ARM? Would
I have to roll my sleeves up and compile? I suspect that's not a good route for
me but I will certainly give it a stab if there aren't easier options. (I have
searched and they're not leaping out at me!)
Thanks Dirk,
Chris
