Installation

Microsoft Windows

RStudio Pro for Windows requires a 64-bit edition of Microsoft Windows 10 or newer.

Installer

Download the self-extracting installer (.exe) and execute it. Follow the prompts in the setup wizard. Administrator access is required to complete the installation. The installer will create a shortcut for RStudio and an Add/Remove Programs entry for uninstall.

Zipfile Option

A zip file may be downloaded instead of the self-extracting installer. Download and extract the .zip to any location. RStudio may then be run directly from that location via rstudio.exe (in the bin folder).

Mac

RStudio for Mac requires macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or newer. Download the disk image (.dmg) and open it. Drag the RStudio icon to Applications then eject the disk image once complete. To uninstall, move RStudio from where it was installed to the trash.

Linux

RStudio produces binary packages targeting the following 64-bit Linux desktop distros. Download the appropriate package and install using system tools.

Linux Distro	RStudio package format
Debian 10, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS	deb
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS	deb
Debian 9	deb
