# remoter
* **Version:** 0.5-0
* **License:** [BSD 2-Clause](https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause)
* **Project home**: https://github.com/RBigData/remoter

Control a remote R session from your local R session. The package uses [**pbdZMQ**](https://github.com/snoweye/pbdZMQ) to handle the communication and networking. Encryption is supported if the **sodium** package is (optionally) installed. Details below.
## Installation
You can install the stable version from CRAN using the usual `install.packages()`:
```r
install.packages("remoter")
```
In order to be able to create and connect to secure servers, you need to also install the **sodium** package. The use of **sodium** is optional because it is a non-trivial systems dependency, but it is highly recommended. You can install it manually with a call to `install.packages("sodium")` or by installing **remoter** via:
```r
install.packages("remoter", dependencies=TRUE)
```
The development version is maintained on GitHub:
```r
remotes::install_github("RBigData/remoter")
```
To simplify installations on cloud systems, we also have a [Docker container](https://github.com/RBigData/docker) available.
## Usage
For setting up a local server, you can do:
```r
remoter::server()
```
And connect to it interactively via:
```r
remoter::client()
```
There is also the option to pipe commands to the server in batch using the `batch()` function:
```r
### Passing an R script file
remoter::batch(file="my_rscript_file.r")
### Passing in a script manually
remoter::batch(script="1+1")
```
For more details, including working with remote machines, see the package vignette.
