How to use R with Google Colaboratory?

Tags:

google-colaboratory

Google Colaboratory supports Python version 2.7 and 3.6

I saw an example how to use Swift in Colab a while ago.

Today, I happened to run

!jupyter-kernelspec list

And found a new kernel: IRkernel

Available kernels:   ir         /usr/local/share/jupyter/kernels/ir   python2    /usr/local/share/jupyter/kernels/python2   python3    /usr/local/share/jupyter/kernels/python3   swift      /usr/local/share/jupyter/kernels/swift

Is it now possible to use R in Colab as well? No hassle in installing R kernel?

Yes.

For a new R-notebook, use this link. (shorthand is colab.to/r )

You can learn from IRkernel demos, e.g. demo.ipynb

Save a copy in your Google Drive, and make any changes you need.

2 more demos:

  • Display.ipynb shows how to display HTML, images.
  • Comm_Demo.ipynb shows how to communicate between R and JavaScript.

See more details in IRkernel Github.
