[R-sig-Debian] help installing R on Linux Mint 21.2

[Luben Dimov]

(re-sending because somehow the 2nd half didn't get included, sorry)

Could you direct me to a newbie-friendly instructions for installing
the latest versions of R and RStudio on Linux Mint 21.2? I followed
instructions I could find, but no luck with managing to get RStudio
(tho I did install R).

System:
  Kernel: 6.2.0-39-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: N/A Desktop: MATE
1.26.0
    Distro: Linux Mint 21.2 Victoria base: Ubuntu 22.04 jammy

I was able to install what I assume is the latest R:

R version 4.3.2 (2023-10-31) -- "Eye Holes" 

through the terminal following instructions for Ubuntu (on which Linux
Mint is based) from https://linuxtldr.com/installing-r-and-
rstudio/ and https://www.linuxcapable.com/how-to-install-r-lang-on-
linux-mint/
but I can't get RStudio to install. The error I get is:

sudo dpkg -i rstudio-*.deb          
Selecting previously unselected package rstudio.

  Package libssl1.1 is not installed.
 rstudio depends on libclang-dev; however:
  Package libclang-dev is not installed.

Trying to get that libclang-dev:
sudo apt install libclang-dev
Reading package lists... Done

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libclang-dev : Depends: libclang-14-dev (>= 14~) but it is not going
to be installed
 rstudio : Depends: libssl1.0.0 but it is not installable or
                    libssl1.0.2 but it is not installable or
                    libssl1.1 but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages
(or specify a solution).

Below is the outputs when I run a few things that I thought might
help...


sudo apt install libssl-dev

libssl-dev is already the newest version (3.0.2-0ubuntu1.12).

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  rstudio
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 831 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n

So basically running around in circles... 

Thank you for any help with this!
