In December 2021 the orphaned RGtk2 package was archived on CRAN and this is the end for RQDA. It was fun while it lasted, but it's time to move on.
RQDA is an R package for computer-aided qualitative data analysis
Assuming you have a working version of the current release (and all its dependencies).
#install.packages("devtools") ## install it only if you haven't done it yet
devtools::install_github("RQDA/RQDA", INSTALL_opts = "--no-multiarch")# packages you need to run and build RQDA
pkgs <- c("RSQLite", "gWidgets2RGtk2", "DBI",
"stringi", "RGtk2", "igraph", "gWidgets2", "devtools")
install.packages(pkgs)
devtools::install_github("RQDA/RQDA")
# packages you need to run and build RQDA
pkgs <- c("RSQLite", "gWidgets2RGtk2", "DBI",
"stringi", "RGtk2", "igraph", "gWidgets2", "devtools")
install.packages(pkgs)
# run this once and click OK when asked to install Gtk2
library(RGtk2)
# RGtk2 installs only i686 or x86_64 files therefore no-mutliarch is required
devtools::install_github("RQDA/RQDA", INSTALL_opts = "--no-multiarch")

If the above step is successful, launch terminal to invoke R and install RQDA from within R:

This can be achived by modifying ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (create on if not exists), for instance:
style "user-font" {
font_name = "Lucida Grande 14"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
gtk-font-name="Lucida Grande 14"
gtk-enable-mnemonics = 0
