on my ubuntu server I have several R installation created by RStudio Server. That is, there is a /home/user1/R and a /home/user2/R. I now want to run an R command from command line. Usually I just type s.th. like sudo R -e "....". However, how can I specify which R installation to be used with that approach?

Whenever I execute the command, the R installation that is used is /usr/local/lib/R. How can i change this?

Try changing the `$PATH` https://stackoverflow.com/a/26910560/10276092 – M.Viking Nov 10 '22 at 14:28
You can use the full path rather than just `R`. Your shell will use whichever one it finds first on your PATH environment variable. – MrFlick Nov 10 '22 at 14:29
what is the full path? – Ai4l2s Nov 10 '22 at 14:34

The full path is the complete location of the R binary file you want to run, maybe `sudo /home/user2/R/bin/R -e 1+1` – M.Viking Nov 10 '22 at 14:50
