You will need a working C++ compiler capable of compiling C++ code using the C++11 standard or newer. To get it:
sudo pacman -Syu install build-essential g++-11 or similar.On my laptop, this is the output of g++ --version:
g++ (GCC) 15.2.1 20250813

After installing g++-11, you may still encounter issues compiling C++ code due to missing standard library headers. This does not happen when testing on Manjaro Linux.
You can try this:
sudo apt install build-essential g++-11 libc++-11-dev libc++abi-11-dev
Then you can attempt to compile a simple example to print a number:
// save this as 01-print-number.cpp or similar
#include <iostream> // required for the cout function
// function to print a message
int main() {
std::cout << 1 << std::endl;
return 0;
}
Then try to compile and run it with the following bash instruction:
g++ 01-print-number.cpp
./01-print-number # prints "1"
Otherwise, not installing the additional packages may lead to the following error:
fatal error: 'cstdio' file not found
fatal error: 'vector' file not found
cannot find -lc++abi: No such file or directory
You can install the R packages cpp4r, tinydev and microbenchmark with the following command:
install.packages(c("cpp4r", "tinydev", "microbenchmark"))
To verify that R can compile C++ code, you can run tinydev::check_cpp_compiler(), which will return an output similar to:
