Run RStudio Server on Windows Subsystem for Linux


I installed RStudio Server on the Linux Subsystem on my Windows 10 machine, but my browser won't connect to http://localhost:8787. When I run sudo rstudio-server verify-installation, I get the error Unable to connect to Upstart.

I know WSL doesn't support Upstart or systemd; how can I run RStudio Server?


Solution

  • I can start RStudio Server without Upstart or systemd by running exec /usr/lib/rstudio-server/bin/rserver at the Bash prompt.
