Hello,

R 3.4.0 was released 2017-04-21 09:14 and R 3.4.4 2018-03-15 09:04. This is before the release of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS so that version of Ubuntu was not supported by any sub-version of R 3.4.

At least this is how I understand it. If you want to give R 3.4/Ubuntu 18.04 a try, you can download older versions of R from CRAN and install them.

Do you have any practical reason for asking this?

Dear Rui,

I am a little confused.

See this ---> : R 3.4 packages for Ubuntu on i386 and amd64 are available for all stable Desktop releases of Ubuntu prior to Bionic Beaver (18.04) until their official end of life date. However, only the latest Long Term Support (LTS) release is fully supported. As of June 11, 2018 the supported releases are Artful Aardvark (17.10), Xenial Xerus (16.04; LTS), and Trusty Tahr (14.04; LTS).

Bionic Beaver ( Ubuntu 18.04 ) is NOT in the list of supported releases for R 3.4  What does this mean ? Can you please clarify ?

Many thanks,
Ashim

    Hello,

    I am not completely sure but I think I installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS first
    and R 3.5 days later, so yes, if I'm right it is possible to run R 3.4
    on 18.04.

    (You ask whether we can *install* R 3.4 on Ubuntu 18.04.1, I'm
    saying it
    can be *run* on Ubuntu 18.04.1.)

    Hope this helps,

    Rui Barradas
