RStudio and Microsoft R-Open

Question

I currently have R-statistics distribution working with RStudio.

I want to install also the Microsoft R-Open version, but how do I get RStudio to reference this MRO distribution and not the 'regular' R-statistics.

I could not find any documentation on this either here on Stack Overflow or on RStudio's website.

Answer 1

So if I understand you correctly, you want to run RStudio against the Microsoft R Open version you have installed?

If so, in RStudio, go to Tools | Global Options and you will be presented with the Options dialog. Choose "General" on the right hand side and at the top you see "R version:". Click change and you will get the"Choose R Installation" dialog, where you now choose the MRO version, as per below:

Hope this helps.
