RStudio Server

RStudio Server provides a web‑based integrated development environment for the R programming language. It bundles a console, source editor, plot viewer, workspace, help, and history panels into a single customizable workbench, allowing code execution directly from the editor and offering syntax highlighting with code completion. The IDE also supports authoring Sweave and TeX documents and includes built‑in viewers for data frames and connections to databases.

The server variant runs on Linux and can be accessed by multiple users through a web browser, making it suitable for collaborative or centrally managed R workflows. It is self‑hostable, distributed under the AGPL‑3.0 license, and does not require a subscription. The project is maintained as open source on GitHub and runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, and a community‑maintained FreeBSD port.

Typical users are R programmers, data scientists, and researchers who need a unified interface for writing, debugging, and visualizing R code, as well as integrating Python, SQL, or other languages within the same environment. The stable release is intended for production use in academic, research, and enterprise settings.
