[R] Server question

[Oliver Jones]

Hi

A client of mine has asked me to investigate the installation of R-software.

Could anyone tell me whether the software works only on a client machine or
whether it sits on a server with clients attaching to it?

Not immediately clear from the docs.

Best

Oliver

It normally runs on the client. There are ways to set up a server for
it, but they are not the usual way to use it.

Did anyone answer this yet? See Rserve and Rapache on google. Both could
be useful to you or get you started.

It also depends on what you mean by "running on a server".

For instance, we have R installed on our compute servers which people
ssh into and use.

Maybe they are more interested in a type of "server install" rstudio
provides? Check out the "RStudio Server" section of their
documentation on this page:

Hope that helps,
