在debian9上从源Rstudio Desktop安装，错误cmake

Question

I try to install rstudio 1.1.456 on debian9 :

Linux pc1 4.9.0-8-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.9.110-3+deb9u4 (2018-08-21) i686 GNU/Linux

I download and extract the tarball, create a build repertory in it, cd in it and launch this command (as it was showed in the INSTALL file)

sudo cmake .. -DRSTUDIO_TARGET=Desktop -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
[sudo]
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/zorg/rstudio-1.1.456" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

I looked for a CMakeLists.txt from the root path but not much results :

sudo find -name "CMakeLists.txt"
./usr/share/cmake-3.7/Modules/FortranCInterface/CMakeLists.txt
./usr/share/cmake-3.7/Modules/FortranCInterface/Verify/CMakeLists.txt
./usr/share/cmake-3.7/Modules/IntelVSImplicitPath/CMakeLists.txt

Thx

You do not appear to be in the directory you think you are in. The files that your find is finding are not in the source download I retrieved. I also suspect your unzipped source is a level down from where you are trying to run the cmake.

In a shell window run the following commands

cd /home/zorg/rstudio-1.1.456
ls -l

If you do not see CMakeLists.txt in the directory, but do have a subdirectory named rstudio-master, then run

cd rstudio-master
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DRSTUDIO_TARGET=Desktop -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Note you do not need to use sudo for the cmake command only for the make install.
