Setting up my Ubuntu computer

1. Install Ubuntu

I installed 17.04 ("Zesty Zapus")

2. Install drivers

I have an HP machine and I installed drivers for it from the CD.

3. Install PostgreSQL

I followed instructions found here. Except I should have replaced

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ `lsb_release -cs`-pgdg main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list'

with

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ zesty-pgdg main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list'

4. Install R

I followed instructions here except that I replaced xenial with zesty in step 1. (Also I did not follow instructions here for installing RStudio.)

5. Install RStudio

I followed instructions here.

6. Install SSH server

See here:

sudo apt-get install openssh-server
