Note
After installing R Tools, you may want to configure Visual Studio for an optimized data scientist layout, as described on the Options article.
Supported versions of Visual Studio
R Tools for Visual Studio (RTVS) is supported on Windows with the Community (free), Professional, and Enterprise editions of both Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 (or higher) (direct download).
RTVS is not presently supported on Visual Studio for Mac.
RTVS does not install if you have only the Visual Studio Shell that's included with products such as Visual Studio Test Professional and SQL Server Management Studio. Visual Studio Shell lacks the necessary components for RTVS.
Install RTVS in Visual Studio 2017
Run the Visual Studio installer and select the Modify option (for details, see Modify Visual Studio). If you don't yet have Visual Studio installed, see Install Visual Studio. On Windows 7, be sure that your installer is updated to show Visual Studio 2017 version 15.2 build 26430.12 or later.
Select the Data science and analytical applications workload:
Set any additional options on the right side under the same workload name. By default, this workload includes F# and Python support. For R, minimum requirements are R language support, Runtime support for R development, and Microsoft R client.
RTVS is installed in: %ProgramFiles(x86)%Microsoft Visual Studio<version><edition>Common7IDEExtensionsMicrosoftR Tools for Visual Studio where <version> is typically 2017 and <edition> is Community, Professional, or Enterprise.
Install RTVS in Visual Studio 2015
With Visual Studio 2015, you need to install an R interpreter and the R Tools separately.
Install an R interpreter
RTVS requires a 64-bit installation of R version 3.2.1 or higher from one or more of the following sources:
Microsoft R Open and CRAN R both allow for multiple side-by-side versions. Microsoft R Client, however, supports only one version and always uses the latest one you installed.
Install the R tools
Download the current RTVS for Visual Studio 2015 from https://rtvs.blob.core.windows.net/download/RTVS_2017-12-18.1.exe. RTVS checks for a suitable version of Visual Studio and helps you install an R interpreter if you haven't already.
Note
The standalone RTVS installer works only with Visual Studio 2015; with Visual Studio 2017, install R support through the Data Science and Analytical Applications workload as described earlier.
