RStudio in OOD

Getting Started

You can run RStudio in OOD by going to the URL ood.hpc.nyu.edu in your browser and selecting RStudio Server from the Interactive Apps pull-down menu at the top of the page. As you can see below, once you've used it and other interactive apps they'll show up on your home screen under the Recently Used Apps header.

note

Be aware that when you start from Recently Used Apps it will start with the same configuration that you used previously. If you'd like to configure your RStudio session differently, you'll need to select it from the menu.

Configuration

You can select the version of R to use, the R package location, the number or cores, amount of memory, GPU type (if any), amount of time, and optional Slurm options.

tip

You may wish to set the 'R Package Location' to /scratch since space in /home is limited. Also, be aware that RStudio always starts in your /home/NetID directory.

warning

Be careful not to go over your quota for /home. You can find your current usage with the myquota command. Please see our Storage documentation for details about your storage options.

RStudio running in OOD

After you hit the Launch button you'll have to wait for the scheduler to find you node(s) to run on:

Then you'll have a short wait for RStudio itself to start up.

Then after you hit the Connect to RStudio Server button you'll have the familiar RStudio Desktop to use.
