Subject: Execute R codes without installing R environment

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.
