Execute R codes without installing R environment

Jeff Newmiller 
1) Producing a zip file most likely means you put your code in a package. This can be a useful thing to do,  but it most definitely does not create a standalone executable. 

3) You have not communicated your goal clearly. Many people want to treat R on a server as a remote compute resource... you might want to look at the OpenCPU project if that is your goal. Alternatively,  using ssh to remotely invoke R at the command line using the parallel package is well supported on Unix-ish operating systems, but that can be more tricky on a Windows server and requires that R be installed.  Other people want to log on to their server gui and run code interactively because the server has more RAM/CPU cores/disk space... for that you also need to get R installed first.  These options definitely involve the assistance of your sysadmin. If you are trying to get R running without that assistance there are portable installs of R, but you still need the approval of your sysadmin.
