Install RStudio on ChromeOS (29 Jan 2021)
Raw
r-studio-chromeos-202101.md

First, install Linux (beta) by following the "Turn on Linux (Beta)" steps described here https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9145439?hl=en-GB

Then, copy-paste the following command into the Linux terminal (the black window that opens after you install Linux) and press Enter:

sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade && sudo apt -y install r-base wget libnss3 && \
  wget https://download1.rstudio.org/desktop/bionic/amd64/rstudio-1.4.1103-amd64.deb && \
  sudo apt -y install ./rstudio-1.4.1103-amd64.deb

This will take about ~10 minutes, after which you will have fully functional R-Studio with R v3.5. You can find in the ChromeOS menu.
