# Install, chaning the name of the package to the one you downloaded - perhaps easiest if you go to your Downloads directory - and you'll probably find that there are missing packages:

sudo dpkg -i rstudio-1.0.124-amd64.deb

# Download the missing packages (the lack of which causes the installation to fail):

wget http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gstreamer0.10/libgstreamer0.10-0_0.10.36-1.5_amd64.deb

wget http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gst-plugins-base0.10/libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0_0.10.36-2_amd64.deb

# Install them:

sudo dpkg -i libgstreamer0.10-0_0.10.36-1.5_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0_0.10.36-2_amd64.deb

# Make sure they don't get over-written at the next software update:

sudo apt-mark hold libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0

sudo apt-mark hold libgstreamer0.10

# Install RStudio (changing name to the version you downloaded):
