It provides a straightforward user interface for organizing and controlling software downloads on your computer. Gdebi makes managing software files on your Ubuntu system easy for users who prefer a graphical user interface over the command line. In this case gdebi will help us install Rstudio

I hope we are still together? Let move on with the Process.
