I converted an old laptop of mine into a Ubuntu Server (18.04) which I would like to use for file sharing and running RStudio Server.
I successfully download RStudio Server and can open it on my new laptop through Chrome.
I would like to download tidyverse (or just dplyr and stringr) to run a few commands, but when I do install.packages("dplyr") I get the following message:
Installing package into ‘/home/jacobdavis95/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

==================================================
downloaded 1.1 MB
* installing *source* package ‘dplyr’ ...

Followed by this line, repeated many times

and finally

Warning in install.packages :

I don't understand what some of these messages mean. One of the lines also says, "no space left on device" which doesn't make sense because it's a 500 GB SDD that is nearly empty.
Most forums/websites I've looked at aren't involving Ubuntu Server, just Ubuntu Desktop. I did try following the advice on https://www.r-bloggers.com/installing-rstudio-server-on-ubuntu-server/ but ended up running into the same issues.
Has anyone had this issue before? How do I go about fixing this?
For whatever reason, there was an issue with the initial installation of Ubuntu Server, and the system was only registering that I had 4 GB on the drive. As a result, I reinstalled Ubuntu Server and it corrected itself, and now there is enough space to install packages.
