Open the sources list with:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Then add this line to the bottom of the file (use your favourite mirror if desired):
deb http://cran.ma.imperial.ac.uk/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/
The Debian backports are signed with the key of "Johannes Ranke (CRAN Debian archive) <jranke@uni-bremen.de>", with key ID 381BA480 . Import this using:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key 381BA480
Then, update the packages cache - this should complete without errors.
sudo apt-get update
Finally, install R and the R recommended packages using:
sudo apt-get r-base r-recommended
To check the version of R that is now installed, use:
R --version
To start R, simply type
R
at a command prompt. As usual, let me know of any issues or problems in the comments below.
