Is it possible to install RStudio Server on a Windows machine? I know that it is possible if I use AMI, but how could I install it without AMI?
I\'ve read at http://www.
Here are the steps I took to solve this. My setup is a Windows 10 Pro on a LAN ("host computer"). My goal is to have rstudio-server running on a ubuntu virtual machine ("guest computer", running on the windows computer, and accessible to another computer on the LAN ("remote computer").
ifconfig
on the terminal, find the ip address after inet. Mine was 10.0.2.15.ssh -N -L 8787:localhost:8787 username@127.0.1.1
, where username is the name of the user on the guest (ubuntu virtualbox).In principle this can be generalized to beyond LAN, if the router forwards incoming port 22 to the ip address of the windows computer to the windows computer (most routers won't do this by default, I think).
Also this should work on a MacOS as well, since both virtualbox and openssh are available there (have not tried).
Install Virtual Box
from here. Then get Ubuntu Server
and add the iso to the virtual machine. Manage to make the Ubuntu to access the network and install RStudio Server
.
That's it! Go on windows open the brower and type http://ipAddressOfUbuntu:8787/
.
I've used it on ubuntu and want to share with mates on windows...
Actually found it is possible through Docker: https://hub.docker.com/r/rocker/rstudio/
