RStudio in Aristeem or RStudio Cloud: Which is the Smarter Choice?

RStudio software is a powerful environment for working with the R language, featuring a user-friendly interface and tools for data analysis, statistics, and visualization.The program runs on Windows. RStudio for Mac and RStudio Ubuntu are also available; however, RStudio for iPad is not natively supported — using the program on mobile platforms (iOS, Android), tablets, or smartphones requires additional solutions.

Indirect ways to use RStudio

Indirect ways to use RStudio online come in handy when the program is not available for direct installation on the desired device. Among the main solutions are:

• Virtual machines — installing Windows or Linux on macOS, Chromebook, or another system, then launching RStudio software.
• Emulators/emulation environments – using programs that replicate the operation of another OS (e.g., Wine for Linux).
• Remote access – connecting to a computer with RStudio already installed via a remote desktop.
• RStudio Cloud — the cloud version, which allows you to run the R environment in a browser without installing the program, but has a limited interface on mobile devices, and is slower to work with large projects.
  Note:
  RStudio in the cloud does not require a dedicated mobile app, but works through a browser on smartphones and tablets (iOS, Android). The interface is optimized for computers, so mobile devices may have difficulty with code entry, viewing graphs, or large projects. For in-depth analytics, it is more convenient to use a laptop or PC, though RStudio for iPad allows light edits or review on the go.
