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.
