RStudio is a free and open-source IDE (integrated development environment ) for programming in R.
It makes it easier to write scripts, interact with objects in the R environment, access files, and make graphics more accessible to the casual users.

Available in two versions:

  • RStudio Desktop edition, where a program runs locally as a regular desktop application.
  • RStudio Server edition, which allows a user to access RStudio using a web browser while it runs on a remote server.

Prepackaged distributions of RStudio Desktop are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
