Installing rJava in Jupyter R Notebook

Hi All,

I’m new to Jupyter Notebook and I have Docker jupyter/datascience-notebook installed on my PC.
I’m struggling to install rJava packages in Notebook.

I can install it fine if I start the R terminal with sudo.
But without sudo i’m getting same error which is the same in the notebook.

Error Message from Notebook

Warning message in install.packages(“rJava”, “/opt/conda/lib/R/library”):
installation of package ‘rJava’ had non-zero exit status”

Make sure you have Java Development Kit installed and correctly registered in R.
If in doubt, re-run “R CMD javareconf” as root.

I have tried various different options on stackexchange as well as running numerous time of “R CMD javareconf” without success.

I guess my question is that is there any option to start the R notebook with sudo option please?

Many Thanks
