配置找不到libgit2库

Question

在尝试安装R devtools包(在Linux Mint，19.3 &R 4.0.2上)时，我收到此错误。在ANTICONF部分，消息提供了一些关于我应该做什么的建议，但是作为Linux的新手，我不知道如何执行这些指令，我在互联网上的搜索也没有结果。有人能提供关于安装libgit2或解决此问题所需的命令/步骤的指导吗？

Configuration failed to find libgit2 library. Try installing:
* brew: libgit2 (MacOS)
* deb: libgit2-dev (Debian, Ubuntu, etc)
* rpm: libgit2-devel (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL)
If libgit2 is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your
PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a libgit2.pc file. If pkg-config
is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'

Answer 1

Linux Mint是基于Debian的，所以在终端上，命令是：

sudo apt-get install libgit2-dev

Answer 2

下面的命令适用于我在fedora 32中的工作

sudo yum install libgit2-devel
