Why does using conda to install rstudio, r version 4, using conda on my linux system return an error about incompatable specifications?

I'm trying to use condas to install r and rstudio

conda create -c conda-forge -n r4rs r-base=4.0.* rstudio

However,

 conda create -c r -n r4rs r-base rstudio

seems to install r and rstudio just fine.

I'm at a loss about what this means or how I'd even begin to solve this issue. Maybe I just need to submit a bug report and accept that this isn't going to happen for now, but if there is some way I can move forward, I'd love to hear it.

Looks like an issue with dependencies, as rstudio does not seem to be solvable with r-base=4.0.* specified.

This works: conda create -c conda-forge -n r4rs r-base rstudio This does not: conda create -c conda-forge -n r4rs r-base=4.0.* rstudio

Probable reason might be that the rstudio package in the conda channel is not very actively maintained and hasn't seen an update in over a year, see here

Depending on what can give here, you could:

  1. Accept the option of conda create -c conda-forge -n r4rs r-base rstudio which will give you r-base<4.0

  2. Download and install your own version of rstudio from the official website and create an environment with just r-base==4.0.*, activate that env and then start your downloaded rstudio, which should detect the r you have installed into the conda env. See also this post
