如何在Ubuntu上将pdftools安装到RStudio？

Question

有人知道如何将pdftools安装到运行在Ubuntu18.04.3LTS上的RStudio 1.2.5019上吗？我试过：

> install.packages("pdftools")
Installing package into ‘/home/jaakko/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
also installing the dependencies ‘curl’, ‘qpdf’

If libcurl is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your
PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a libcurl.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=...'

仔细看一下错误消息。如果您想在Linux上使用R包，有时需要先安装依赖项。这里是libcurl4-openssl-dev。使用来自终端的以下命令安装此包。那么您应该能够从R中安装pdftools。

sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev
