Seems O/T for this list, which is about R programming. Have you tried an internet search on "Install R on ubuntu" or similar.
I found this: https://www.linode.com/docs/development/r/how-to-install-r-on-ubuntu-and-debian/ There are also r-sig-debian and r-sig-fedora mailing lists, in case that might help.
