So far working great! Good luck grad students with chromebooks!įew things I've figure out: In RStudio menu tools>global settings>appearance I had to change font to DejaVu Sans Mono(space) as the default courier font isn't installed and will cause cursor problems. I out of voodoo Halloween superstition shut down the pixelbook and restarted it before attempting to use R studio. #UPDATE: Needed to add write permissions to the R folders as follows: Gpg -keyserver -recv-keys 3F32EE77E331692Fĭpkg-sig -verify rstudio-xenial-1.1.b #installed the keyring (think this was superfluous to be honest, but I did it and am including it just in case.) per
#get the file - the actual target will definitely change when newer versions come up, I just made sure it matched the version Linux (Debian 9 / 64-bit). #this one library wasn't installed for me ultimately, and I got an error when I ran Rstudio from the command line the first time, so I went back and installed it manually and THEN re-installed Rstudio.

#need to install wget to actually get the file first #need to install this next tool "gdebi" to install the downloaded install package. #installing basic R package and the development package.there's more options available bt-dubs.
Install r studio chromebook update#
Sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade #First update the beta chromebook Linux "update" and "upgrade" under "sudo" or superuser credentials.By the way this is Debian 9 64-bit Linux when you are choosing packages to install.
Then you need to open up the new terminal with the icon and proceed with the following code: Follow the instructions as follows from Google: So here's my Halloween good deed for the day:įirst, you need to activate the Linux option. For data scientists / students like my wife who have a nice pixelbook but can't run R - they should try this! Pretty fast and simple! It is probably super simple for hardcore Linux folks out there, but I thought I'd do other people a "solid" and post this. However, I was finally convinced yesterday to try to install it via the new (Beta) Linux feature directly "baked into" the latest Chromebook OS in a container. My wife was not comfortable with taking our nice laptop computer and doing that.
She ultimately gave up on the chromebook because she doesn't like to be dependent on a remote desktop to run her scripts/code (all it takes is one slow connection to make remote work tedious).Īnyway - There are a couple previous threads discussing side-loading/installing crouton etc to get linux to run Rstudio on chromebook hardware. My wife also uses RStudio in grad school and was strongly discouraged by her Stats professor from using a chromebook for RStudio. However.The ONLY downfall is my data science stuff can't be done on the chromebook locally - at least not easily. For most big data/R/Rstudio work I can (and will) use cloud computing and my Pixelbook is great for remote desktop work like that.

I love this pixelbook - I've found workarounds for most things that had me using Windows devices in the past. I'm a Physician/Engineer (Practicing research engineer and training Medical Geneticist) and have lurked on here a long time, but registered today to post this for others. Hey - just thought I would share my success with installing RStudio on a chromebook (Pixelbook to be exact).
