RStudio Signed Builds
Official RStudio builds for Linux-based operating systems may be signed with a GnuPG key. You can validate the signature of the binaries yourself; this helps assure that
- The binaries are genuine artifacts produced by RStudio, and
- They have not been tampered with by a third party.
Obtaining the Public Key
In order to validate a build’s signature, you must first import and trust RStudio’s public code-signing key. You can obtain the public key from a keyserver using gpg at the command line:
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 3F32EE77E331692F
The complete key public key is also reproduced at the end of this page. If you are not able to retrieve the key from the keyserver, save the contents of the GnuPG Public Key below into a file, /tmp/rstudio.key and run:
gpg --import /tmp/rstudio.key
Validating Build Signatures
Debian/Ubuntu
On Debian-based Linux systems, use the dpkg-sig command to validate the signature. You may need to install the dpkg-sig package if it isn’t already installed.
dpkg-sig --verify rstudio-download-1.2.3.deb
Red Hat/CentOS/SuSE
On RedHat-based Linux systems, validation is built into the rpm command; however, rpm doesn’t use the GnuPG key store, so you first need to import the public key. You can validate the signature as follows:
gpg --export --armor 3F32EE77E331692F > rstudio-signing.key rpm --import rstudio-signing.key rpm -K rstudio-download-1.2.3.rpm
