I agree with Nick on an ECM. Just to start the ball rolling:

M-x org-version
Org mode version 9.0.5 (release_9.0.5-288-g4caad0 @
/home/jwhendy/.elisp/org/lisp/)

$ emacs --version
GNU Emacs 25.1.1

#+begin_src min-config

;; set load paths
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/org.git/lisp/")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/org.git/contrib/lisp/")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/ess/lisp/")

(require 'ess-site)

;; setup babel languages
(org-babel-do-load-languages
 'org-babel-load-languages
 '((R . t)))

#+end_src

method:
- emacs -Q
- M-x load-file /path/to/min-config
- C-c C-c on both of these blocks and get the results as shown

;;;;;;;; file: ~/Desktop/test.org ;;;;;;;;;

* heading

#+begin_src R

getwd()

#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: /home/jwhendy/Desktop

#+begin_src R :session r

getwd()

#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: /home/jwhendy/Desktop
