[R] netstat in R in linux...

[Henrik Bengtsson]

Okay,

that means that the Linux machine where you run this on does not have
the 'netstat' software installed.  That is something that needs to be
installed outside of R.  For example, if it's Ubuntu, I think 'sudo
apt info net-tools' will do.

(Disclaimer: I'm the author)
A cross-platform alternative to netstat::free_port(), is
port4me::port4me(), which is also available from CRAN
(https://cran.r-project.org/package=port4me). It requires no external
tools, but R (>= 4.0.0).
