Hello there,

I have a simple question. I am using Rstudio running on a high performance machine (in linux). I would like to know how much RAM I have available. Is there a simple command to see that?

Thanks!

This may vary from distribution to distribution, but try running command free -m in the Terminal window.
It should give you overview of memory and swap file in megabytes (that is what the -m stands for).

thanks but this would be the free memory on the system, not the one available to Rstudio?!

Rstudio has no memory limitation, so all the free memory is available to it.
