Well hard to tell still, though working through build errors. Definately requires Boost, MathJax, Pandoc. And a few other bits. It has /bin/bash scripts to automatically download them, however isn't running them. I installed those as spotted (MathJax simply a symlink to the install part at this point). ANd had to run one called Dictionaries. Got Pandoc installing right now (lots of haskel). I hope that is a build dependency though rather then run time. Though CMake seems to be progressing well getting to the build. Crossing fingers in hopes that it finishes and runs well (hehe, imagine that, though it does really happen on occasion). Then we'll see. And if it does well, shouldn't be bad to make a port for it.
Oops, that's the RStudio Server, another split that might be of interest too. Guess after all the haskel and "textlive-texmf" installs will try Desktop and see if the dependancies still require pandoc which required a lot.
I'll post more soon
