Installing R v2.15.3 onto Ubuntu.
Edit your package sources to include your local CRAN mirror. List of mirrors here: http://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html
See here for detailed instructions: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/README
Install the specific version of R you need. In my case, 2.15.3. You can get package information from your mirror. e.g. http://cran.ms.unimelb.edu.au/bin/linux/ubuntu/precise/Packages (precise Ubuntu packages)
sudo apt-get install r-base-core=2.15.3-1precise0precise1
