sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install r-cran-lme4

Rserve Configuration

Create the configuration file “/etc/Rserv.conf”.

Create the following content in the configuration file (enables TCP communication with R using port 5999):

remote enable port 5999

fileio disable

encoding utf8

Ensure that the port specified in the configuration file is not used by other applications and is enabled in the firewall. Alternatively a configuration file with user authentication can be used as follows:

remote enable

port 5999

fileio disable

encoding utf8

pwdfile /etc/Rserv.pwd

auth required

plaintext disable

The password file Rserv.pwd contains the defined users and passwords. It is a plain text file with tab-separated values:

myUser1 myPassword1

myUser2 myPassword2

Load and start Rserve from R:

library("Rserve");

Rserve();

Note: depending on how R is being run, it may require additional parameters. In that case the parameter should be passed in the args argument such as:

Rserve(args=’--no-save’);
