I created a new instance with an R environment, but when trying to start a notebook with an R kernel, it never connects. Python kernels work fine.
I followed the advice on this post, but when I tried to run the update.packages line as suggested in it, it failed unless I installed them in a personal library. I went through all the updates but in the end it still wasn't connecting to the kernel.
This is the error I get that requires me to write on the personal library:
Warning in install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l, contriburl = contriburl, : 'lib = "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library"' is not writable
After installing on a personal library, I restarted the instance, and the kernel does not connect. I still see the same error:
Error: package ‘IRkernel’ was installed before R 4.0.0: please re-install it
So looks like the installation did not work. Any advice on how to resolve it?
