Can R run on Neurodebian?

The install page for R has instructions for Debain: https://cran.r-project.org/
I'm running Neurodebian (the actual OS is Debian GNU/Linux 8, not really sure what makes it "neuro")
When I try to install R I get the following error
"Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages"
I've searched tons of places for solutions and have tried about 6 or 7 different solutions, none of which work for me. So I'm simply wondering if anyone out there who uses Neurodebian has successfully installed R and R Studio

    It's Neurodebian because it is specifically for neuroscience. This mostly consists of a bunch of python packages aimed at neuroscience analysis. Have you tried sudo apt-get install r-base?

  • To work out what version of debian's underlying your install of neurodebian, or pretty much any linux version, try typing in lsb_release -a your debian version should be under release or description, maybe both

  • @bob1 For reference, when I try "sudo apt-get install r-base" the resulting error is: The following packages have unmet dependencies: r-base : Depends: r-base-core (>= 3.5.1-1~stretchcran.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: r-recommended (= 3.5.1-1~stretchcran.0) but it is not going to be installed Recommends: r-base-html but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

  • r-base for jessie is version 3.1.1-1+deb8u1 . So you could try not adding yet an other repository and see if the stock Debian package is good enough. (You should also consider upgrading to Debian 9. The upgrade might be more complex because you'd have to upgrade Neurodebian at the same time to the Debian 9 repository version. At least the cran repository would probably work after this upgrade then)
