Embedded in the README (home page) is the link:

http://www.graalvm.org/docs/reference-manual/languages/r/

Opening this link yields 404 - Not Found

And so I still do not know how to install and experiment with fastr ...

ubuntu@graal:~$ gu install r

and

Hello Jonathan,

thank you for bringing the broken link to our attention, we'll fix that. For the time being, the correct link is: https://www.graalvm.org/reference-manual/r/.

What distribution and version of GraalVM are you using to install FastR? I've tried on GraalVM 21.3.0, CE, JDK 17 on Linux and gu install R seems to work. I think it should be case insensitive, but just in case (no pun intended) can you try with capital R?
