Consider including common baseline packages in GCP Cloud Workstations image
blairj09 opened this issue · comments
The IDE depends on various R packages for some basic pieces of functionality. It would be an improvement to the user experience for Cloud Workstations if some of these baseline packages were already part of the image:
rmarkdownshinytidyversetidymodelsodbc
I've added the above list of packages along with some common data science packages for Python:
numpyscipypandasmatplotlib
I realize I should have pointed to this page in my original comment: https://docs.posit.co/ide/server-pro/reference/r_package_dependencies.html
There are a few packages listed in there that aren't captured in the packages we already pre-install.
I added the packages from rstudioapi::getRStudioPackageDependencies() into the image.
