Hi Mike,
As long as you have access to some user folder, you can download a
non-install version of RStudio.
Go to the page http://www.rstudio.com/ide/download/desktop and select "Show
zip/tarball downloads", download, extract, and run.
Do believe Yihui that running an example using RStudio saves you a lot of
time.
Best,
Yixuan
