This is a containerized version of RStudio that includes R-4.4.2 and operating system dependencies required for many Bioconductor packages.
The development (devel) version of Bioconductor is also available.
It does not include any actual Bioconductor packages, but they can
be quickly installed as binary (pre-compiled packages) using BiocManager::install()
.
(packages in the devel
version are built from source).
Packages installed will persist from one session to the next as they will be installed in your home directory.
If you switch between this and the non-containerized version of
RStudio, you could run into issues where packages in your home
directory are built with different toolchains than the version of
R that you are running. If this happens, remove or rename the
~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.4
directory and try reinstalling the packages that are giving errors.
