Note that we need to move the install R packages, which I will show how at the end. Here are 3 ways you can update R version in RStudio.

So it is required extra procedures to move the packages. After you install the new version, the previously installed packages will not go to next version. RStudio and R cannot update on their own because some packages may not work after switching to the new version (You can still downgrade R version in RStudio if something went wrong though). So I explore some ways to update R and would like to share with someone who is also looking to update R on RStudio. Today I just noticed I cannot install new R packages because of my old R version. I installed RStudio and R a year ago, and never update it since then.

R_ver = clean_av %>% filter(package %in% pkg_dep) %>% filter(depend_type = 'Depends') %>% filter(depend_package = 'R') %>% select(depend_version) %>% summarise( max_r_version(depend_version)) %>% pull()Ĭlean_av %>% filter(package = pkg) %>% mutate(r_real = as.When was the last time you update your R and RStudio? With_r = filter(av_pkgs, ! is.na(priority)) %>% select(package) %>% pull() %>% unique() Recursive = TRUE) %>% unlist() %>% unname() %>% c(pkg) Pkg_dep = tools :: package_dependencies(pkg,

R_cur = clean_av %>% filter(depend_package = 'R' & package = pkg) %>% select(depend_version) %>% pull() Now that’s done, we can pass the list of ') get_r_ver() - calls package_dependencies() and returns the maximum R version out of all of the dependencies.Īlso, we have simplified some the details and what we’ve done isn’t quite right - it’s more of a first approximation.max_r_version() - takes a vector of R versions, and returns a maximum version.Extract the maximum version of R for all packages in the listĪt the end of this post, there are two helper functions:.

Obtain a list of dependencies for a given package.

Using the package_dependencies() function, we simply # 'Rcpp' 'tibble' 'hms' 'R6' 'BH' # 'methods' 'pkgconfig' 'rlang' 'utils' 'cli' # 'crayon' 'pillar' 'assertthat' 'grDevices' 'fansi' # 'utf8' 'tools' Recursive = TRUE) %>% unlist() %>% unname() Which = c( 'Depends', 'Imports', 'LinkingTo'),
