RStudio is an integrated development environment (IDE)for R. It includes a console, syntax-highlighting editor that supports direct code execution, as well as tools for plotting, history, debugging and workspace management.
Because it is a IDE, you will be unable to submit batch or swarm jobs on biowulf. You can request an interactive node though.
To use Rstudio on either system, you must load the module There are several RStudio modules available. To see a list of modules, type
module avail Rstudio
To load the default version of RStudio, type
module load Rstudio rstudio&
To run RStudio, an X Windows connection is required. NoMachine's NX is the X-Windows client currently recommended by staff for Windows and Mac users.
If you want to run your job interactively, you can allocate a node for interactive use. Once the node is allocated, you can type commands directly on the command-line. Example:
[user@biowulf ~]$ sinteractive salloc.exe: Pending job allocation 15323416 salloc.exe: job 15323416 queued and waiting for resources salloc.exe: job 15323416 has been allocated resources salloc.exe: Granted job allocation 15323416salloc.exe: Waiting for resource configuration salloc.exe: Nodes cn1640 are ready for job [user@cn1640 ~]$ module load Rstudio [user@cn1640 dir]$ rstudio&
If you need more memory than the default 4 GB, use sinteractive --mem=#g
