Container Setup

You can run the R Dev Container in one of the ways:

  • GitHub Codespaces: Offers 60 hours per month of free usage for 2-core set-ups and 15GB of free storage. The R Dev Container codespace is set up to use 4 cores by default, which gives users 30 hours per month of free usage. Check out the Codespace pricing docs for more information.

  • Gitpod Workspaces: Offers 50 hours per month of free usage. Check out the Gitpod pricing docs for more information.

  • Local Setup: Currently recommended for Linux users only.

Explore the sub-sections for detailed instructions on setting up and using the container for each option.
