Modules
Befor starting R, load a modulefile
module load R/versionThis provides access to the script R that sets up an environment and starts the R-binary. The corresponding man - and info pages become available.
Info pages: R-admin, R-data, R-exts, R-intro, R-lang, R-admin, R-FAQ, R-ints
As programming environment, rstudio Version 1.1.453 is installed and available, when a module file for R is loaded. rstudio starts the version of R specified with the module file.
Running R on the frontends
This is possible, but the runtime is limited. Be friendly to other users and work on the shared compute nodes!
Running R on the compute nodes
Allocate capacity in the batch system, and log onto the related node:
$ salloc -N 1 -p large:shared
$ squeue --job <jobID>
The output of salloc shows your job ID. The output of squeue shows the a nodename you are going to use.
Now login with X11-forwarding:
$ ssh -X <nodename>
Load a module file and work interactively as usual. When ready, free the ressources:
$ scancel <jobID>
