Unable to Install Ubuntu 16.04

[medvidov]

On my Ubuntu 16.04 installation, I am unable to install hitandrun. Every time I try to install it in the R command line, I get an error like the one below. I have tried to use every method to install the package that I can find on Google.

COMMAND TO INSTALL IT
Installing package into ‘/home/user/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

• installing source package ‘hitandrun’ ...

Make sure you have BLAS installed (I think the package you need is "libblas-dev").
