First, you’ll probably want to install R itself. To do this, add a new file to your repository called .gitpod.Dockerfile, and add the following content to it:
Copy
Ask AI
FROM gitpod/workspace-fullRUN brew install R
Next, create a Gitpod configuration file called .gitpod.yml (you can also simply run gp init and Gitpod will generate the file), and reference the above Dockerfile in it like so:
Copy
Ask AI
image: file: .gitpod.Dockerfile
Then commit and push both files to your repository. After that, every new Gitpod workspace created for your project will have R pre-installed.
