Hi, If you don't want to install the binary for your version of linux, then you must install the prerequisites first.
Notably, you have to have a compiler if you want to compile R from source! Here's a list: https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#Essential-and-useful-other-programs-under-a-Unix_002dalike But your standard package installation method (like apt or dnf) probably can install a pre-built binary for you. If you aren't familiar with compiling software, that's the way to go.
