Loading RStudio 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following are the steps that need to be done to run ``RStudio`` at the CRC.

* Login to a front-end machine with the ``-X`` flag so the RStudio GUI can load. ``Note``: If you're connecting from a Mac, you may need to use [[Fastx]].
* Load the ``Rstudio`` module by typing ``module load Rstudio``.  Do not load the module for ``R``.  The module for ``R`` is loaded when ``Rstudio`` is loaded.
* Run ``RStudio`` by typing ``rstudio`` in the command prompt.
* Congratulations! RStudio should now be open and ready to use.
