For really bleeding edge and all the other hard install libs on Docker I just go straight to the rockerverse: https://hub.docker.com/r/rocker/hadleyverse/ For package installs, this is more or less what I do from scratch on Ubuntu 16.04, I *always* go for the updated packages to ensure GDAL is reasonably up to date (current GDAL is 2.1.1 and PROJ.4 is 4.9.2). (Everything else advice-wise seems to be forever out of date. ) (I include PROJ.4, GEOS, HDF4, NetCDF4 and their tools since I always need them.) ## manual set config and key for apt-get update, see http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/README # echo 'deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu xenial/' >> /etc/apt/sources.list # apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E084DAB9 ## manually set updated GDAL ## https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntugis-unstable # add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable --yes apt-get update apt-get upgrade ## Install 3rd parties ymmv ## HDF4 apt-get install libhdf4-dev apt-get install hdf4-tools ## NetCDF apt-get install libnetcdf-dev apt-get install netcdf-bin ## GEOS apt-get install libgeos-dev ## PROJ.4 and GDAL apt-get install proj-bin apt-get install libproj-dev apt-get install libgdal-dev apt-get install gdal-bin ## now R apt-get install r-base r-base-dev Rscript -e 'install.packages(c("rgdal"))' Cheers, Mike.
