How to install Tidyverse on Ubuntu 16.04 and 17.04

Question

I\'m running Ubuntu 16.04 [now 17.04: see note in bold below] and R 3.4.1. I installed the latter this morning, so I presume it\'s the latest version. I want to install Tidy

Answer 1

In some cases I find that I need to install the Ubuntu packages. To install the Tidyverse I added

sudo apt-get install r-cran-curl r-cran-openssl r-cran-xml2

After installing these packages, I could install the Tidyverse.
