R help - Aug 2015 - Running R in Server

Hello,

I have written a R script which runs a regression of a dataset and saves
the result in a csv file.

Now this dataset has to be edited periodically which is done in a server. I
need to run the R script in a server so that the results can also be shared
in a server and used in a web application.

I have coded in R and have used R in windows. I have never used
Ubuntu/Linux. Is there a step by step guide on how to run a R code in
server?

Thanks and Regards,

There is probably nothing that can give you a step by step guide.  You are
touching on a couple of different subjects.  If you just want to run code
automatically on a windows server you can use task scheduler to call Rscript
filename.R.  If you want to create Web application, that's a bit harder.  I
still use Rpad, which works on windows, but development of it stopped a long
time so I wouldn't suggest using it.  All the other web application
approaches such as RApache only work on Linux.

If I understand correctly what you want to do, you might be able to create a
HTML report using RMarkdown and host that on the website.  If you really need a
web app, I suggest looking into Shiny.  You can make a shiny app, host it for
free on the cloud.  You will have a lot to learn, but it will be time well
spent.  https://www.rstudio.com/
