# R

The R analyser is triggered when a “renv.lock” or a “DESCRIPTION” file is found in the root of the project. When operating on a R project the analyser will use the “R” command in combination with the “[renv](https://rstudio.github.io/renv/index.html)” tool in order to load the dependencies. 

When using the [thin client](/the-client/client.md), the required tools may have to be installed and configured (R and renv). This is not required when using the [dockerized client](/the-client/the-meterian-client-dockerized.md).
