Re: [R] R, RStudio, and a server for my iPad.
Running rstudio (server) on an ipad. I do'nt have an ipad anymore, but some years ago I noticed that rstudio (server) worked fine on an ipad of you have a separate keyboard. It does not work with the virtual keyboard. The same is true with android tablets.

Re: [R] R, RStudio, and a server for my iPad.
That you cannot reach your home LAN from the Internet without learning something about networking is a good thing, since that offers some hope that the Russian Mafia can't use your computer to launch criminal activities against the rest of us, either. Studying how to set up a VPN on your network router was a good recommendation that you have not acknowledged. However, that subject is networking, not R, and is definitely off topic here. --- Jeff NewmillerThe . . Go Live... DCN:jdnew...@dcn.davis.ca.usBasics: ##.#. ##.#. Live Go... Live: OO#.. Dead: OO#..

Re: [R] R, RStudio, and a server for my iPad.
I see. You might indeed be over thinking it ... since everything is installable by the package manager for the flavor of linux you choose, it should actually be relatively straightfoward (although if this is your first time setting up a linux box, it can take a few tries). I'll assume you are using an ubuntu server. There are two things you can do to get one (1) Get yourself a spare CPU. Blow out the OS on it, and setup vanilla ubuntu; or (2) Rent an ubuntu server from somewhere like linode.com Then: (a) Install R on it, by following the instructions here: http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/linux/ubuntu/README.html Which boils down to basically: (i) adding the appropriate line to your `/etc/apt/sources.list` given the version of ubuntu you installed (saucy, quantal, etc) ; and (ii) Running the following from the terminal: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install r-base sudo apt-get install r-base-dev (b) Install RStudio Server. Start from the Download and Install section here (since you already installed R): https://www.rstudio.com/ide/download/server Then go here: https://www.rstudio.com/ide/docs/server/getting_started If you've set this up on your own machine (option (1) from above) then you have to figure out how to connect it to the internet if you want to use it from anywhere outside of your LAN. It might seem like a lot of work, but as mentioned above -- since these packages are available by the system's package manager, all of the dependencies (like apache (if you need it)) will be installed for you if you follow the (presumably correct) installation instructions from RStudio. === An even easier setup === Just realized that there is 3rd route. You can save yourself a lot of time by using an already built amazon machine instance that the bioconductor folks have setup for you. Look at the instructions here: http://www.bioconductor.org/help/bioconductor-cloud-ami/ If you follow along (you'll need an amazon account), you can rent a machine and have it loaded w/ RStudio Server as well as some bioconductor-specific libraries to get you started (by using the bioconductor AMI). Once you have that up, you can connect to the server running on Amazon's cloud via your web browser on both your CPU (to make sure it all worked) then using an iOS device. This would be a very easy way for you to see if taking one of the 2 avenues of setting up RStudio Server yourself would be worth the pain.

Re: [R] R, RStudio, and a server for my iPad.
Even if you do get Rstudio running on a server, unfortunately it won't
help. The ipad doesn't support quite enough html to get a fully
functional Rstudio interface - almost everything works but you can't
type anything :/ It would be possible to fix this, but fundamentally
we don't believe that the Rstudio interface is the right choice for an
ipad.

Re: [R] R, RStudio, and a server for my iPad.
Steve, Are you suggesting that all I need to is build a Linux box (easily done, I have done many) and them simply use the package manager to install RStudio server? This would mean I don't need to build an Apache Server with a LAMP stack, hooray! John John David Sorkin M.D., Ph.D. Professor of Medicine Chief, Biostatistics and Informatics University of Maryland School of Medicine Division of Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine Baltimore VA Medical Center 10 North Greene Street GRECC (BT/18/GR) Baltimore, MD 21201-1524 (Phone) 410-605-7119 (Fax) 410-605-7913 (Please call phone number above prior to faxing) Steve Lianoglou lianoglou.st...@gene.com 4/11/2014 5:51 PM I see. You might indeed be over thinking it ... since everything is installable by the package manager for the flavor of linux you choose, it should actually be relatively straightfoward (although if this is your first time setting up a linux box, it can take a few tries). I'll assume you are using an ubuntu server. There are two things you can do to get one (1) Get yourself a spare CPU. Blow out the OS on it, and setup vanilla ubuntu; or (2) Rent an ubuntu server from somewhere like linode.com Then: (a) Install R on it, by following the instructions here: http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/linux/ubuntu/README.html Which boils down to basically: (i) adding the appropriate line to your `/etc/apt/sources.list` given the version of ubuntu you installed (saucy, quantal, etc) ; and (ii) Running the following from the terminal: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install r-base sudo apt-get install r-base-dev (b) Install RStudio Server. Start from the Download and Install section here (since you already installed R): https://www.rstudio.com/ide/download/server Then go here: https://www.rstudio.com/ide/docs/server/getting_started If you've set this up on your own machine (option (1) from above) then you have to figure out how to connect it to the internet if you want to use it from anywhere outside of your LAN. It might seem like a lot of work, but as mentioned above -- since these packages are available by the system's package manager, all of the dependencies (like apache (if you need it)) will be installed for you if you follow the (presumably correct) installation instructions from RStudio. === An even easier setup === Just realized that there is 3rd route. You can save yourself a lot of time by using an already built amazon machine instance that the bioconductor folks have setup for you. Look at the instructions here: http://www.bioconductor.org/help/bioconductor-cloud-ami/ If you follow along (you'll need an amazon account), you can rent a machine and have it loaded w/ RStudio Server as well as some bioconductor-specific libraries to get you started (by using the bioconductor AMI). Once you have that up, you can connect to the server running on Amazon's cloud via your web browser on both your CPU (to make sure it all worked) then using an iOS device. This would be a very easy way for you to see if taking one of the 2 avenues of setting up RStudio Server yourself would be worth the pain.

You can not type _anything_ into Rstudio if you connect to it on the
ipad. In other words, Rstudio is not currently usable on the ipad.

Re: [R] R, RStudio, and a server for my iPad.
Hadley, Thank you for the clarification!

Re: [R] R, RStudio, and a server for my iPad.
David, Thank you for your assistance. I have, in fact been able to get things to work, at least when my iPad is on my local network. I had to do the following: (1) install Linux (I used linux Mint) on a computer on my LAN (2) install R on the linux box (accomplished using the Mint package manager) (3) install Rstudio and RStudio server on the linux box (accomplished using the Mint package manager) (4) obtain the linux computer's internal IP address (obtained using ifconfig command entered at a terminal). The internal IP address was 192.168.0.101 (5) use a browser on my iPad (I used google chrome, I believe firefox would also work) to connect to the linux box, requesting a connection using port 8787 In the brower I entered http://192.168.0.101:8787 This works like a charm; I can now control RStudio, which runs on the Linux box, by typing on my iPad. I thus gain access to RStudio on my iPad, RStudio works exactly as if it were running directly on my iPad, hooray! My remaining problem is to determine how I can gain access to the linux box from outside my LAN. I know the IP address of my cable router xx.xx.xx.xx (forgive me I am not listing my external IP address for security reasons), but I don't know how I can address the linux box from outside my LAN. Clearly I can't use 192.168.0.101 as it is an internal IP address, and I can't use the external IP address, xx.xx.xx.xx as it is the address of my cable box, not the address of the Linux box behind the cable modem. If I can figure how to address the linux box from outside my LAN my problem will be solved! If anyone can help me with this last problem I would be grateful. I know it is not strictly an R question, but in my case it is related to running R, at least on my iPad.
