Just to be thorough, what version of R are you running.  RStudio is its
own project, and they have shifted their emphasis somewhat regarding R
somewhat.  The web site now states that the organization - now
called Posit - is not de-emphasizing R so much as extending to empbrase
Python.  The current version of RStudio requires R 3.3.0 or later.
