I am using the opencpu/rstudio docker image. Docker runs through a Virtual Machine because I am a Windows user. After running rstudio-server, I try to install my R package from github. Everything works fine, until rgdal should be installed.
I get the following error message:

How could I solve this?
There are some missing libraries.
If you log in to the shell of the Docker container as follows...
docker exec -it <your docker container name> bash
you can install the missing dependencies...
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev libproj-dev
Exit the shell and from RStudio do...
install.packages("rgdal")
