Introduction

RCode is a full featered IDE for R and Python.

To get started if you plan to use

• R: be sure that R is installed, it is not provided with RCode.
• Python: be sure that Python is installed, it is not provided with RCode.

Download and install RCode. You will be asked for the language(s) you will work with.

It only affects the options displayed in RCode. If you choose above:

• R: the R console will be open and you will only have the options associated to R.
• Python: the same as above but with Python.
• R and Python: both consoles will be open by default and the options for both languages will be displayed.

This can be changed in the future through the Settings. The selected langage(s) (R and/or Python) should be detected in your computer and the corresponding console(s) displayed. If not, check the R/Python path through the Settings. This documentation is for both languages.

To start: create or open a new project. It is simply a folder in your device. Now it's on!

As a full featured IDE, RCode provides:

• An R/Python Editor for .R and .py files in which the scripts are written.
• An Environment panel in which all variables are visible, and can be explored.
• An History panel in which all R code lines sent to the R console are displayed, with the associated status (execution time, in execution or aborted).
• A Packages manager in which the packages can be managed (installation, update, removal or loading-unloading).
• A Search module which looks in the whole project, supports regex and can filter the files.
• A Graph feature which generates a graph from plotly efficently, without any package.

RCode is also the software in which professional RPGM applications are developed.
