Description:

In this workshop demonstrates different options for using R and RStudio on Quest. We will demonstrate using RStudio to work interactively from the Analytics Nodes, Quest OnDemand, and within an interactive job using FastX3, but we will also highlight the ability to use R outside of RStudio, how to submit jobs that run R scripts, and the differences between writing a script vs working from a notebook.
Prerequisites: Before attending this workshop, researchers new to Quest should:

• Apply for a Quest allocation. We recommend “Research Allocation I” if you are new to Quest. If your lab has a joint Quest allocation, you can also apply to join that allocation.
• Watch the Introduction To Quest video series to get an overview of the system, learn how to submit jobs, and become familiar with best practices. To learn more about Quest, see About Quest.
• Become familiar with Unix command line: see our Intro Command Line and Bash Scripting workshops and check Online Resource Guide for learning basic command line skills.
