RStudio Server

Preview Mode

This application is still under development and has been made available in preview mode. If you have experience using this program, please try it out and provide any feedback to us so we know how it goes.

Overview

RStudio is a popular integrated development environment (IDE) for the R programming language that lets you do all of your R scripting, visualizations, and troubleshooting in a single application. Our version of RStudio is specifically RStudio Server, which allows you to take advantage of our computing resources right in your web browser in the same familiar interface as what you'd run on your own computer.

Availability

Cluster Module/Version
BOSE 2023.09.1 - Via OnDemand

Note: This application does not have a traditional module available and is used as an interactive app within the Open OnDemand platform.

How To Access

Access to RStudio server is done by using the web-based Open OnDemand platform, which lets you access our computing infrastructure using your web brower.

  1. Log into Open OnDemand - https://ondemand.hpc.uwec.edu
  2. Click "RStudio Server" on the dashboard, or by first clicking "Interactive Apps" in the top bar.
  3. Fill out your required resources to the best of your abilities. Unsure what to use?
  4. Wait for the job to start, then click "Launch RStudio Server"

Your session for RStudio will remain operational based on the number of hours you entered in the form. Once the time limit is hit, it'll automatically quit without saving.

Done using RStudio?

To free up resources for other users, we ask that you stop your RStudio instance when you are done using the cluster.

  1. In Open OnDemand, click on "My Interactive Sessions"
  2. Find your running RStudio instance and click "Cancel"
