Abstract
In this chapter we discuss the practical realities in setting up an analytical environment based on R in the cloud, including various cloud providers and their interfaces. We will also walk through the basics of installing R from the cloud. We will cover how to minimize the time learnt to perform tasks in R, by using GUI instead of command line. In addition we would learn about interfacing R from additional software as well as use it from an Amazon cloud computing environment.
