Binder supports using R and RStudio, with libraries pinned to a specific snapshot on MRAN.
If you specify a runtime.txt
file that is formatted like:
r-<YYYY>-<MM>-<DD>
where YYYY-MM-DD it will use the MRAN snapshot of that day for setting up the R runtime.
Without specifying a runtime.txt
it will use a 2-day old snapshot of MRAN.
Both RStudio and IRKernel are installed by default, so you can use either the Jupyter notebook interface or the RStudio interface.
