    Hi,

    you can install package in RTVS (VS R IDE).

    IMHO IDE should be prepared for e.g.: client machine with all packages pre-installed (compatible with version), so data wrangled, data analyst should not worry about this.

    Agreed. That's not the question at hand, or an issue. Having the packages installed on the server as well as the local machine is the problem.

    Thoughts?

    Having all the packages aligned with the server version, as well as the R engine would be the easiest way to handle packages on client/local/server/remote machine. In addition,

    function RxComputeContext (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt732690.aspx) gives you ability to push the computation to server/remote machine for better and faster performance. Given this, also job of code validation would be simplified.

    In enterprise environment this task should be performed by a administrator.

    Best, Tomaž
