RStudio

The RStudio integrated development environment (IDE) is a set of tools built to help you be more productive with R and Python.

Interactive Usage

To use RStudio you will need to be in a flight graphical session on Stanage.

In your flight session open a terminal and load the R and Rstudio modules

module load R/4.2.1-foss-2022a
module load rstudio/2023.12.0-369-x86_64-fedora

Once you have loaded the modules you can launch the RStudio IDE by running the following command:

rstudio --no-sandbox
