RStudio is a powerful, full-featured integrated development environment (IDE) tailored primarily for the R programming language but increasingly supportive of other languages like Python and Julia. It brings together console, editor, plotting, workspace, history, and file-management panes into a unified interface, helping data scientists, statisticians, and analysts to work more productively. The IDE is cross-platform: there are desktop versions for Windows, macOS and Linux, as well as a server version for remote or multi-user deployment via a web browser. In addition to code editing and execution, RStudio offers extensive support for reproducible research via R Markdown, notebooks, and integration with version control systems like Git and SVN. Package development is built in, with tooling for building, checking, and testing R packages, plus integration with documentation tools, CRAN submission workflows, and project templates.

Features

  • Unified IDE with editor, console, environment/variables pane, plots pane and files/plots/history navigation
  • Cross-platform support: Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and Server (Linux / browser-based access)
