The Rocker Project

🚀Getting Started

Ensure you have Docker installed and start R inside a container with:

docker run --rm -ti r-base

Or get started with an RStudio® instance:

docker run --rm -ti -e PASSWORD=yourpassword -p 8787:8787 rocker/rstudio

and point your browser to localhost:8787. Log in with user/password rstudio/yourpassword.

For more information and further options, see the image descriptions.
