RStudio is the de facto environment for R on the desktop system. Powered by Open OnDemand, now LSU HPC users can access to the RStudio server running on SuperMike-II's compute nodes. In this tutorial, you will see the best RStudio practices including some very useful RStudio IDE features, along with pitfalls to avoid. A few examples of using R to process real-life data will be presented as well.
