The images come with *Rstudio* and the *R-development* version (latest) installed. The whole process was tested on Ubuntu 18.04. To **pull** \u0026 **run** the image do the following,\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n```R\n\ndocker pull mlampros/randomsearchr:rstudiodev\n\ndocker run -d --name rstudio_dev -e USER=rstudio -e PASSWORD=give_here_your_password --rm -p 8787:8787 mlampros/randomsearchr:rstudiodev\n\n```\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe user can also **bind** a home directory / folder to the image to use its files by specifying the **-v** command,\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n```R\n\ndocker run -d --name rstudio_dev -e USER=rstudio -e PASSWORD=give_here_your_password --rm -p 8787:8787 -v /home/YOUR_DIR:/home/rstudio/YOUR_DIR mlampros/randomsearchr:rstudiodev\n\n\n```\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nIn the latter case you might have first give permission privileges for write access to **YOUR_DIR** directory (not necessarily) using,\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n```R\n\nchmod -R 777 /home/YOUR_DIR\n\n\n```\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe **USER** defaults to *rstudio* but you have to give your **PASSWORD** of preference (see [www.rocker-project.org](https://www.rocker-project.org/) for more information).\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nOpen your web-browser and depending where the docker image was *build / run* give, \n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n**1st.
