I recently installed R via conda install -c conda-forge r-base, but it crashes as soon as I try to launch it from terminal (see below). I've reserved 15G of memory for my session (should be plenty).
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
(base)~/$ R

During startup - Warning message:

Possible actions:
1: abort (with core dump, if enabled)

(base)~/$
This problem seemed to be resolved by adding the following lines to my ~/.bashrc file:
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
I can't explain why.
