Hi,
I would really like to get the R remote console working. I take a stab at this every once in a while, but have never been successful, despite combing through the available documentation and user list archives, Stack Overflow, etc. In particular, I would like to set this up to run within a docker container. This would let me get everything configured with all the packages I use + StatET, and distribute it to other R users (especially within my company), so we would all have the same configuration and wouldn't have to go through all the installs. When I talk to people about using Eclipse, they always seem put off by the installation/configuration, so I think this would help.
1) is the remote console option working with the latest StatET version (4.0.1)? Has it been tested?
2) do I need to install other software besides R and rj +
rj.gd on the server to make it work? I've seen references to RMI; is this installed along with rj or does it need to be installed separately? Do I have to start it somehow on the server?
3) how do I actually set up the connection? Is it just a matter of giving the server's address along with the RMI port? Do I have to register SSH keys somewhere?
I'm sorry if all of this should be obvious... I have spent hours trying to figure this out, both recently and in the past, to no avail.
Thanks for your help.
Mike
