Configuring an Ubuntu 22.04LTS (WSL) system to be able to build oce from source

Clark Richards 2022-11-07

The purpose of this document is to outline the steps required to configure a "clean" Ubuntu 22.04 LTS system to be able to build and use the R oce package. These instructions have been tested on a Windows 10 WSL (windows subsystem for linux) installation (2022-11-07).

Install the latest version of R (4.2.2 as of 2022-11-07)

From here:

1. Configure the R debian repository to install from:

sudo apt install -y --no-install-recommends software-properties-common dirmngr
# Add the keys
wget -qO- https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/marutter_pubkey.asc | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/cran_ubuntu_key.asc
# add the R 4.0 repo from CRAN -- adjust 'focal' to 'groovy' or 'bionic' as needed
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs)-cran40/"

2. Install R 4.2

sudo apt install -y r-base r-base-core r-recommended r-base-dev

3. Install required system libraries:

sudo apt install libnetcdf-dev libgeos-dev libgdal-dev libudunits2-dev libxml2-dev

4. Open R (by running R at a system prompt), and run:

install.packages("oce", dependencies=TRUE)
