This is a how-to guide for setting up a server or virtual machine (VM) with Google Compute Engine.

Skip to here if you just want the post-setup summary. The most recent update was October 30, 2018. Open rserver.Note: This tutorial has been updated occasionally to reflect changes in the setup requirements.

Use your Unix user’s username and password to log in when prompted:īecause you will be accessing RStudio through a reverse proxy, set RStudio Server to listen on localhost instead of a public IP. In a browser, navigate to your Linode’s public IP address on port 8787 (i.e. Jan 23 21:18:44 localhost systemd: Started RStudio Server. Jan 23 21:18:44 localhost systemd: Starting RStudio Server. └─13677 /usr/lib/rstudio-server/bin/rserver Process: 13676 ExecStart=/usr/lib/rstudio-server/bin/rserver (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)ĬGroup: /system.slice/rvice Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/rvice enabled vendor preset: enabled)Īctive: active (running) since Tue 21:18:44 UTC 1s ago Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system//rvice to /etc/systemd/system/rvice. If successful, the output should show rvice as active. Install and use the gDebi package installer for the downloaded Debian package file: sudo apt install gdebi The steps in this guide are for Ubuntu 16.04 and should be adapted to your specific distribution installation. See our guide on installing R on Ubuntu and Debian for steps on installing the latest version of R. This guide assumes an R installation version of R 3.0.1+ and will show how to install RStudio Server 1.1. In addition, a professional edition is available that allows project sharing and simultaneous code editing for multiple users. Since data analysis often uses large datasets and can be computationally expensive, keeping your data and running R scripts from a remote server can be more efficient than working from your personal computer. By hosting the server configuration (RStudio Server) on a Linode, you can access the IDE from any computer with internet access. The IDE is available in both desktop and server configurations. It includes debugging and plotting tools that make it easy to write, debug, and run R scripts. RStudio is an integrated development environment (IDE) for R, an open source statistical computing language.
