RStudio Server is a powerful tool used by data scientists and statisticians for developing and sharing R code. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing RStudio Server on FreeBSD latest.
By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to access RStudio Server on your FreeBSD latest via a web browser.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:
First, we need to install R on our system. To do so, open your terminal and enter the following command:
pkg install R
This command will install the latest version of R on your FreeBSD latest.
Next, we will download and install RStudio Server. To do so, enter the following command:
cd /usr/local/bin
wget https://download2.rstudio.org/server/centos6/x86_64/rstudio-server-rhel-1.4.1717-x86_64.rpm
pkg install -y rstudio-server-rhel-1.4.1717-x86_64.rpm
This command will download and install the RStudio Server package on your FreeBSD latest system.
After installing RStudio Server, it is essential to enable incoming traffic to the RStudio Server port 8787. Enter the following command to open the port 8787:
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8787/tcp --permanent
Then, reload the firewall rules with the command:
firewall-cmd --reload
To start the RStudio Server, enter the following command:
rstudio-server start
After running the command, you can now access RStudio Server via your web browser by navigating to http://[IP_Address]:8787. Here, replace [IP_Address] with the IP address of your FreeBSD latest server.
When you access the RStudio Server URL, you will be prompted to enter your authentication credentials.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured RStudio Server on FreeBSD latest. You can now develop and share R code through the web interface of RStudio Server.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
