Connecting to R Server

That is actually a pretty good question. What I found was that @stoeter wrote an entry about such a connection:

He references this page but mentioned it could be tricky:

And that was some time ago. From what I understand these components would be necessary:

  • Prepare the server with some sort of .sh script to accept commands for the command line (I might be wrong about that)
  • use the Rserve package (on the R Server) but tell it to accept remote connections like (–vanilla --RS-enable-remote)

These are just some quick ideas. Maybe someone from KNIME might know more. I have used R and KNIME from a local installation only.
