Install on Ubuntu 18.04

I'm trying to install and use geojsonio package to follow up this basic Leaflet tutorial: Leaflet choropleths

But having problems reading the example data in the tutorial, from URL or saving it as *.geojson locally.

However, after reading and trying differente things I'm still getting this error:

states <- geojsonio::geojson_read("http://leafletjs.com/examples/choropleth/us-states.js", what = "sp")
Error in rgdal::ogrListLayers(input) : Cannot open data source

It doesn't matter if I open the URL in a browser, copy the contents and save them as "json/us-states.geojson", or if I put the URL Directly, I get the same error.

When in terminal I do:

sudo apt-get install libudunits2-dev libgdal-dev libgeos-dev libproj-dev

System tells me everything is installed and need no updates.

What else should I do?

sudo apt-get install libudunits2-dev libgdal-dev libgeos-dev libproj-dev

thanks for the issue @OmarGonD

Did you see that the file has var statesData = at the start of it and a semicolon at the end? So it seems that that URL is almost okay, it just needs to be edited a bit to remove that js var assignment, and to remove the trailing semicolon.

I guess in the leaflet tutorial where it says

From http://leafletjs.com/examples/choropleth/us-states.js

it shoould clarify that one needs to edit it a bit.

Let me know if that works.

Thank you, that was it.
