Willing to Test on Arch Linux Arm

Open alexrose13 opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

Hello David, I am a pretty novice Linux user. I just picked up an arm-based samsung chromebook plus and got a working distro of Arch Linux Arm up. I'm looking to install Rstudio and I'd happily test this with you. How do I participate?

(full transparency here, I'm also a novice git hub user :) )

Thanks!

I'll start tinkering with the script and see if i can get it to work.

Hi Alex, sounds interesting. I'm afraid my script won't be of tremendous help since a lot of what it does is use apt to install dependencies. Arch will use pacman with different package names. Furthermore, the RStudio build process has changed somewhat in newer versions (it appears to be easier to build on x86 but possibly more difficult for ARM and other architectures), so I need to update the build script anyway to work with the latest RStudio version.
