+## R Studio
+If you want to use R Studio on the CARC systems, there is a way to do it with X11 forwarding. 
+
+First, you should either watch the X11 forwarding tutorial:
+
+https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5ic9JWHuqI&list=PLvr5gRBLi7VAzEB_t5aXOLHLfdIu2s1hZ&index=14
+
+Or you can read it:
+
+https://github.com/UNM-CARC/QuickBytes/blob/master/X11_forwarding.md
+
+Then you will need to create a conda environment with R and R studio. You can do so with these commands:
+
+`module load miniconda3` \
+`conda create --name rstudio --channel r rstudio`
+
+You will type `y` for the conda environment to install. Once it is finished, type:
+
+`conda activate rstudio`
+
+Once you have the environment activated, you can run a Slurm job with the following command:
+
+`srun --x11 --partition debug rstudio`
+
+Note: this was done on Hopper, if you are on a different cluster you will need to change the partition name.
