[R] Running R in Server

[Bos, Roger]

There is probably nothing that can give you a step by step guide.  You are touching on a couple of different subjects.  If you just want to run code automatically on a windows server you can use task scheduler to call Rscript filename.R.  If you want to create Web application, that's a bit harder.  I still use Rpad, which works on windows, but development of it stopped a long time so I wouldn't suggest using it.  All the other web application approaches such as RApache only work on Linux.

If I understand correctly what you want to do, you might be able to create a HTML report using RMarkdown and host that on the website.  If you really need a web app, I suggest looking into Shiny.  You can make a shiny app, host it for free on the cloud.  You will have a lot to learn, but it will be time well spent.  https://www.rstudio.com/

Thanks,

Roger

Subject: [R] Running R in Server

Hello,

I have written a R script which runs a regression of a dataset and saves the result in a csv file.

Now this dataset has to be edited periodically which is done in a server. I need to run the R script in a server so that the results can also be shared in a server and used in a web application.

I have coded in R and have used R in windows. I have never used Ubuntu/Linux. Is there a step by step guide on how to run a R code in server?

Thanks and Regards,
