Is it possible to scrape https://rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/preview/ and download the most recent Ubuntu server version (RStudio Server 1.3.957 - Ubuntu 18/Debian 10 (64-bit)). The names keep changing and I would like to build an R script that does the downloading and updating automatically one per day for me.
R script or bash script would be perfect.
Thanks
Yes, we had that in littler for years as two scripts I run myself every once
in a while. Could be generalized for different distro arguments I suppse.
