Welcome to this tutorial on how to install RStudio Server on Windows 10. RStudio Server allows you to run R code remotely and access the RStudio IDE through a web browser. Let's get started.
Before we begin, there are a few prerequisites that you will need to have in place:
The first step is to download the RStudio Server software from the official website. Navigate to https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/#Server and download the appropriate package for your operating system.
Once you have downloaded the RStudio Server package, double-click on the installer to open it. Follow the installation wizard instructions to install the software.
Make sure to choose the appropriate options during installation. You will be asked to specify the installation path, and whether or not to install the software as a service.
After installation, you will need to configure RStudio Server. Navigate to the installation directory and open the "rstudio.conf" file.
In this file, you can customize the configuration parameters for RStudio Server. You can set options such as the listening port, the SSL support, and the maximum number of sessions.
Make sure to save the changes to the file.
With the installation and configuration complete, you are now ready to start RStudio Server.
From the Windows Start menu, navigate to the RStudio Server program group and click on "Start RStudio Server". This will launch the RStudio Server software and open a web browser window.
In the web browser window, enter the IP address of your server and the listening port specified in the "rstudio.conf" file. For example, if your server IP address is 192.168.1.1 and the listening port is 8787, enter "http://192.168.1.1:8787" in the browser address bar.
This will take you to the RStudio Server login page. Enter your server credentials to log in and start using RStudio Server.
Congratulations! You now have RStudio Server installed on your Windows 10 machine, and are ready to start using it for remote R code execution and development.
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!
