Installing packages on Microsoft R Open fails

Question

I've never had any issues installing packages on R, but I always have issues installing packages on Microsoft R Open. For example, I attempted to install tidyverse. I received many errors, listed below:

In the past, my solution has been to give up and continue using regular R, but I'd like to try to take advantage of MRO's multithreading.

Again, using the simple install.packages("tidyverse") command works in R. What do I have to do differently in MRO?

These errors told you that you didn't have necessary tools (make, gcc) for building R packages in Linux

libs sh: 1: make: not found 
...
no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

You will need to install r-base-dev to get those

sudo apt-get install r-base-dev
