Rstudio an IDE for the R programming language on Linux

rstudio-og

RStudio is an integrated development environment (SDI) for the R programming language, dedicated to statistical computing and graphics. It includes a console, syntax editor that supports code execution, as well as tools for plotting, debugging and managing the workspace.

R Studio is available for Windows, Mac and Linux or for browsers connected to RStudio Server or RStudio Server Pro (Debian / Ubuntu, RedHat / CentOS, and SUSE Linux). RStudio is on a mission to provide the R statistical computing environment. It enables analysis and development for anyone to analyze the data with R.

The IDE it is available in desktop and server configurations. By hosting the server configuration (RStudio Server) on a Linode, you can access the IDE from any computer with Internet access.

Since data analysis often uses large data sets and can be computationally expensive, maintaining your data and running R scripts from a remote server can be more efficient than working from your personal computer.

In addition, a professional edition is available that allows project sharing and code editing simultaneously for multiple users.

Among the main features of Rstudio we can highlight the following:

IDE built exclusively for R

  • Syntax highlighting, code auto-completion, and smart indentation.
  • Execute R code directly from the source code editor.
  • Quick jump to defined functions.

Collaboration

  • Documentation and integrated support.
  • Simple administration of multiple work directories through projects.
  • Navigation in workspaces and data viewer.

Powerful authoring and debugging.

  • Interactive debugger to quickly diagnose and correct errors.
  • Extensive development tools.
  • Authorship with Sweave and R Markdown.

How to install RS Studio development environment on Linux?

For those of you interested in installing the RS Studio development environment on Linux, They can do so by following the instructions we share below.

sudo apt-get install gdebi-core
sudo gdebi rstudio-server.deb
sudo gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 3F32EE77E331692F
sudo gpg --armor --export 3F32EE77E331692F > rstudio-code-signing.key

Now for the case of those who are Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, openSUSE users or any Linux distribution with support for RPM packages, the package for 32-bit users is as follows:

wget-O rstudio.rpm https://download1.rstudio.org/rstudio-1.1.463-i686.rpm

While the package for those who They are 64-bit system users, download it by executing the following command:

    I have used it a few times and it is quite complete.
    I set up a virtual machine with it installed. I hope it is useful to you:

    It's a good IDE for the statistical language, in fact the only one I've used for R, when I don't use Rstudio, I use R interactively from the console, which is sometimes more convenient.

    I recommend using the R and Rsutdio docker containers called "Rocker", since there are several versions that already have certain commonly used packages preloaded, and also make better use of multithread using the openBLAS library, which improves level 3 matrix operations ( matrix-matrix)

    Here I describe a little more detailed how to use docker with R and Rstudio: https://adrian-rdz.github.io/Docker-Ambiente-Ciencia-Datos/

    regards
