Running Program

Also refer to Running Jobs on Sapelo2

For more information on Environment Modules on Sapelo2 please see the Lmod page.

The best way to run Rstudio on Sapelo2 is using the Open OnDemand interface. You can use an interactive Rstudio App or run it within an X Desktop Session on Sapelo2.

If you use an Rstudio interactive app in the Open OnDemand interface, you will need to select a version of Rstudio and a version of R. You can also select the resources you want allocated for this application (number of cores, memory, walltime, constraint, etc). When the resources are allocated, you can launch the rstudio application. If the application does not open (and a blank NoVNC window is displayed), please add the following lines to the file $HOME/.config/RStudio/desktop.ini in your sapelo2 account:

 
[General]
desktop.renderingEngine=software

If this variable is already defined in the file, but it is set to a different value (e.g. auto), please change it to software.

If the file $HOME/.config/RStudio/desktop.ini does not exist in your home directory, you can create a new file with the two lines above.

If you are using the Rstudio application with a version of R that uses the foss/2020b (or newer) toolchain, please request an EDR constraint on the resources page.

Then try launching Rstudio from Open OnDemand again.
