Unable to load installed packages in Rstudio on Ubuntu 20.04: sh: 1: make: not found-CodePudding

For example, I am able to use install.packages() to install dplyr, but when I try to load it into the session using library(), the following happens:

install.packages('dplyr')
    Installing package into ‘/home/ubuntu/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6’
    (as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
    also installing the dependencies ‘fansi’, ‘purrr’, ‘cli’, ‘utf8’, ‘ellipsis’, ‘glue’, ‘lifecycle’, ‘magrittr’, ‘rlang’, ‘tibble’, ‘tidyselect’, ‘vctrs’, ‘pillar’

The R version is 3.6.3, I installed it using the release for Linux x86_64-pc-linux file, my version of Ubuntu is 20.04 and Rstudio is 1.4.1717.

Any help would be highly appreciated

You need to have make installed.

Try running:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
