#rstats nerds: on Ubuntu I can install cran pkgs via terminal with `apt install r-cran-{pkg}`. Is there an equivalent way to install pkgs hosted on GitHub?

No because they have no pre-made binaries. (Also, check out my bspm slides / blog post / container. You cay say `apt install digest ggplot2` and get those _same_ binaries !!)

Whoops. Other way. With bspm, you can say install.packages(c("digest", "ggplot2")) etc and it will farm out to `apt` and get you all proper R as well as system depends via the available binaries. But from R, not from the shell prompt (but I use a shell wrapper in littler)

Will this work on non-LTS releases of Ubuntu?
