Heya,

There are two ways to go about it, the first one is to check this MarketPlace Image:

or the second one is to manually install it yourself. Having said that, I’ll recommend you to use the marketplace one.

Hi there,

What you could do here is to use the DigitalOcean Marketplace 1-Click installation image for RStudio:

https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/rstudio

This basically spins up a Droplet with R and RStudio Server pre-installed.

For your high-performance computing requirement, consider:

  • Choosing a Droplet with more CPU/RAM
  • Using DigitalOcean’s CPU optimized Droplets:

If you prefer you could always install RStudio manually on a Droplet or using Docker instead.

Hope that this helps!
