Comfortable workspace for R and data analysis
RStudio Desktop is a free development environment for R. It brings the code editor, console, plots, variables and help into one window, and supports reports through Quarto and R Markdown that combine code, results and text.
You need to install R itself first. It is the usual choice for students and analysts working with R, although it uses more memory than the plain console.
Pros
- All tools in one window
- Reproducible reports
- Free desktop edition
Cons
- R must be installed separately
