$ sudo apt-get install gdebi-core
$ wget https://download2.rstudio.org/rstudio-server-0.99.491-amd64.deb

```

## Simple Configuration

Simple commands for start/stop/restart server

```bash
$ sudo rstudio-server stop
$ sudo rstudio-server start
$ sudo rstudio-server restart
```

The default port for Rstudio server is **8787**. That means any can connect to the server through the URL **http\://\<server-ip/hostname>:8787**.\
If you wish to change to another port, you should add following configuration into **/etc/rstudio/rserver.conf** file. For example:

```bash

```

```bash
$ sudo rstudio-server restart
```
