Introduction

RStudio is an integrated development environment (IDE) for the R programming language. Some of its features include:

  • Customizable workbench with all of the tools required to work with R in one place (console, source, plots, workspace, help, history, etc.).
  • Syntax highlighting editor with code completion.
  • Execute code directly from the source editor (line, selection, or file).
  • Full support for authoring Sweave and TeX documents. ¹

RStudio is available as server or desktop versions. On this cluster, the desktop version is installed.

To use RStudio, you need to be sure to have X11 forwarding enabled.
If you login using Linux, you just have to set the option -X on your ssh command, e.g.:

ssh abcd1234@carl.hpc.uni-oldenburg.de -X

On windows, it depends on the software you use to get a ssh connection to the cluster. On programs like MobaXterm, you should be able to tick in the option 'X11-forwarding'


Please have in mind, that the login nodes are just for running small scripts and for time-constrained testing purposes.
Should you need to do time consuming calculations with the RStudi GUI, please create a interactive session.
