Mistake, bug, or typo

Hi Mike! I am a beginner in bioinformatics and I am having problems installing rstudio and rtidyverse. I am using ubuntu in my windows 10 laptop.

My command: mamba create -n R-4.3.3 -y -c conda-forge r-base=4.3.3 rstudio=1.1.456 r-tidyverse=1.2.1

The error message:
error libmamba Could not solve for environment specs
The following packages are incompatible
├─ r-base =4.3.3 * is installable with the potential options
│ ├─ r-base 4.3.3 would require
│ │ └─ icu >=75.1,<76.0a0 *, which can be installed;
│ └─ r-base 4.3.3 would require

└─ rstudio =1.1.456 * is not installable because it requires
└─ qt =5.6 *, which requires
└─ icu >=58.2,<59.0a0 *, which conflicts with any installable versions previously reported.

First I let the rsutdio and rtidyverse in blank as you suggested, but give me another type of error. So I tried with different versions but I got similar errors to the one above. Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi there, @esanjinezo :)

I'm not sure why this is a problem at the moment and wasn't before, but I hit the same issue as you. You can try without setting the r version too, like so:

conda create -n R -y -c conda-forge r-base rstudio r-tidyverse

(conda works fine now instead of mamba up front, I need to update that too!)

That worked for me, and it went all the way back to R version 3.5.1 (and r-tidyverse 1.3.0), but it did install things. So hopefully that'll work and won't lead to any problems later.

Thanks for the issue, I'll add a note to the page tomorrow 👍

Good luck!
