...

By default the RStudio server will use the base conda environment for the R library and R version. If you need other packages or a different R version you should create a conda environment containing all the packages and appropriate R version on the login node. You then would give the full conda environment path (i.e. /home/username/.conda/envs/my_env) in the "conda env fullpath" box to specify the location of the conda environment to get your desired R packages and version. For more information about creating conda packages on the HPC please refer to the appropriate documentation: https://hpc.uams.edu/display/HPC/Conda+and+Jupyter+App+Documentation |
Click Launch to submit the RStudio Server as a job.
...
Once the job is submitted your RStudio Server session will be Queued
...
Once you click the Connect button you should see RStudio displayed in your browser.

Note: As the RStudio session is running on a compute node (which doesn't have internet access), you will be unable to install packages from within the RStudio Session. You must leave the session and update your conda environment and resubmit the RStudio job to add packages that you have forgotten. |

NOTE: If you switch R versions by changing conda environments you will see a message like this in the new session. |
