# R templates

The R template contains the R Essentials bundle of approximately 80 packages:

r-base version 3.4.2, plus the most commonly used R packages for data science, including caret, dplyr, ggplot2, glmnet, irkernel, rbokeh, shiny, and tidyverse.

You can add other R packages as described in [Developing a project](../projects/dependencies). You’ll need to be able to connect to the appropriate repository to do so. Otherwise, your Administrator may need to [mirror the channels and packages](../../admin/chan-pkg/mirror) for you to be able to access them.

R notebooks can be edited with any of the editors provided with Anaconda Enterprise: Jupyter Notebooks, JupyterLab, or Apache Zeppelin. To change the default editor for your R project, click on it or select **View details** from its menu in the list view. Then click **Settings** to select your preferred editor. For more information, see [Working with projects](../projects/main).
