R is an open source programming language for statistical analysis and graphics, while RStudio is an IDE for it. Here we will learn the commands to install RStudio with R programming language on Debian 11 Bullseye.
With the RStudio integrated development environment, the user can use the GUI to start coding in the R language. This means that the IDE can only work if you have already installed R. Although the IDE does not can work only with R, the programming language can work alone. It is therefore not possible to replace one by the other.
We can install Rstudio IDE and access it like any other app or development platform like PythonIDE. Besides the desktop application, the server option is also available to use the IDE in a web browser. Rstudio has been developed using multiple languages, however, most of it is written in Java while some of the coding uses C ++ and a small percentage is in JavaScript.
Developing programs in R becomes easy in Rstudio while the functions can be extended using add-ons like googleAuthR, Bookdown and Colorpicker. It also offers another product known as “Job Launcher”, which works with container orchestration platforms and batch processing systems.
Steps to install RStudio IDE on Debian 11 Bullseye or 10 Buster
Installing the IDE will also install the R programming language on your system, so you don’t need to install it additionally.
——————————————————-For desktops—————————————————–
1. Run the system update
Well, if you haven’t updated your system in a while, run the system update command before you go any further.
sudo apt update
2. Download the Rstudio desktop Debian package
The R-base programming language can be installed directly using the Debian 11 Bullseye base repository. However, the Rstudio IDE package is not. Therefore, we need to visit the download page of Rstudio official website to download the free and open source version of this IDE. Here is the link.
Click on the available package to Debian. This will download it to your system.
3. Install Rstudio Desktop on Debian 11

Skip to downloads– As by default, the files downloaded via the browser go in this directory.
cd Downloads
Installation:
sudo apt install ./rstudio-*-amd64.deb
To note: Rstudio will automatically install the R programming language on your Debian 10 or 11 system. Therefore, you will not need to install it separately.

Rstudio Server – Web Based IDE
Those using the Debian 11 Bullseye server from the command line and want to use the R programming language using the web browser can opt for the open source Rstudio Server IDE. Users just need a web browser on any local machine that can access the IP address of the server where the IDE has been installed.
sudo apt-get install r-base
Download Debian Binary:
wget https://download2.rstudio.org/server/bionic/amd64/rstudio-server-2021.09.1-372-amd64.deb
