Just a few hours ago, the <\/span>rstudio::global(2021)<\/span><\/a> conference completed a full 24 hours of really cool talks, which was all the more impressive for being a completely free event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So we thought, what better way to keep the party going than to share a video showing how to use RStudio in Terra?<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, you read that right, RStudio is available in Terra. Specifically, we provide a cloud environment pre-configured to run the server version of RStudio, as an alternative (or complement) to Jupyter Notebooks. It’s an alpha feature, which means it’s still under active development and isn’t fully documented yet, but I’ve been kicking the tires all week so I thought I’d show you a real-world example of how it works.<\/span><\/p>\n

This 7-minute video shows you how to select the right cloud environment for running RStudio, import some data and get started with <\/span>Bioconductor<\/span><\/a> packages for single-cell RNA-seq analysis. All of the steps shown here can be reproduced with publicly available resources; see the list at the end of this post.<\/span><\/p>\n
