Thanks for the App Request!

I'm currently working on getting to all the requests, however, if you'd like help push things along feel free to add context based on the App Request Template

name: RStudio Request
about: RStudio (a powerful GUI for R, pretty used in datascience alongside Python librairies)
title: RStudio
labels: RStudio App Request
assignees:

RStudio
RStudio is an open-source GUI/IDE for R (also Markdown, Python and other things).
It is a standard application in the DataScience world (alongside Python and its dedicated librairies of course)
The more important focus now should be on the GUI/IDE RStudio (the RStudio company handles also RStudio Servers, Shiny Servers and various custom packages for R)

Reference website : https://rstudio.com

Proposed App Status
Not sure at all

Related Issue Tracker Link or discussion
I found this test to run RStudio on a RaspberryPi (then using the ARM compilation).
However it seems slow and difficult to handle with newer version of the software

Apparently R developers are working on the issue:

https://developer.r-project.org/Blog/public/2020/11/02/will-r-work-on-apple-silicon/

But I suppose, since that blog post a FORTRAN compiler came out
https://www.nag.com/news/first-fortran-compiler-apple-silicon-macs

Still there is no solution yet, but there are lots of posts on the topic

Here's the status we'll use:

✳️ Runs via Rosetta with native support currently in development

[ThatGuySam]

This is ready to go.

Feel free to make a pull request using the App Addition Template otherwise I'll add it when time permits.

Here's the status we'll use:

Does it? Based on the comments and the info I've found in the links above it seem that it does not work yet. And even if RStudio works, R might not....

[ThatGuySam]

Perhaps I am mistaken.

The R Project article states:

The new platform will include Rosetta 2, a dynamic translation framework which runs binaries built for 64-bit Intel Macs using just-in-time, dynamic translation of binary code. The good news is that R seems to be working fine with the dynamic translation

I assumed that meant it works via Rosetta.

Are there user reports of issues on Rosetta?

I can't seem to find anything like that in the articles above, however, I may have missed something.

[istvan60]

Since QWebEngine does not run in Rosetta2 the expectation is that current x64 builds of RStudio will NOT run on the new ARM Macs via Rosetta2.

So a print screen and/or YouTube video is needed for confirmation :D

[ThatGuySam]

Good call.

Since DTK devs aren't allowed to record anything on their screen we'll have to wait for someone with an M1

User jjnote says RStudio works under Rosetta2, but there is no solid proof.....

[Aloereed]

Rstudio runs well under rosetta2 with both R 3.6 and 4.0

[ThatGuySam]

@Aloereed Fantastic!

Status: ✳️ Yes, runs via Rosetta 2 with native support in development

We can use this issue page as one of the Tracker links

[ThatGuySam]

This is ready to add.

Feel free to make a pull request using the App Addition Template otherwise I'll add it when time permits.

If there is another update to RStudio we can add it here or start a new issue

This is great!

And did you notice any drastic change in perforemnace, or issues with packages that require external software e.g. java (xlsx etc.)?

[ThatGuySam]

App is now live on the site!

xlsx package works well.

@istvan60 Updated!

Hi Guys,

Here are some benchmark results leman and I just did.

R under Rosetta2 is basically 70% faster on average then on my i5 16GB RAM late 2017 MBPro

[OceansDeep0219]

When will release the new version that will support the Native Apple Silicon (M1) ?
