If it helps, here's the list of applications that make up my statistical computing environment. I also tend to develop in R Studio, but implement things via batch files that work outside of R Studio.

I operate on Windows operating systems.
I have a document somewhere that I had approved for external distribution. It goes through all of the software in my statistical computing environment and some installation instructions specific to Windows. If I can find it, I'll post it here. I'd strongly recommend developing such a document so that you can find your own internal reference with all the tools you need to get things done.
