I am trying to install the package RGLPK with an AWS EC2 instance which has R Studio 1.3 and R 4.0 running. I get this result:

> install.packages("Rglpk")

I have found numerous similar errors involving this package. Such as this: GLPK: No such file or directory error when trying to install R package

There seems to be 3 or 4 solutions, but they involve sudo commands from the terminal window. I am in a virtual machine.

This worked:

In the terminal within R Studio Server:

sudo apt install libglpk-dev

And back in the console, install the R library:

install.packages("Rglpk")
