Requirements for Posit Workbench#
RStudio is now Posit!
Our professional products have been renamed to Posit Connect, Posit Workbench, Posit Package Manager, Posit Cloud, and Posit Academy so it’s easier for folks to understand that we support more than just R. Please review our Blog post/FAQ to answer commonly asked questions about the rebrand.
We recommend viewing our Platform Support page, which offers an in-depth overview of Posit's Platform Support strategy and lists our supported operating systems and browsers.
