How to Update RStudio and R

[@tristanbond8083]

Simple, exactly what I needed and straight to the point. Could not appreciate this video more, thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@ModVal]

Thanks for your comment. Glad to hear the video was helpful!

[@PaulRayburnAclearData]

Thats a great simple video. Thanks for that. PS. If anyone happens to get the windows pop up message when installing RStudio that says "The app you're trying to install isn't a microsoft verified app" just click the "Install Anyway". You can go and change settings to prevent that in the future but I did that and after some Windows updates it defaults back to that setting so I just click the install anyway.

[@ModVal]

Thanks, Paul. Great tip on the Windows pop-up message.

[@ActMIRANDARAZOANGEL]

Thanks for the video!! I had installed the latest version of R first but not the latest version of Rstudio and I was confused because I didn't kow that another update had to be installed.

[@ModVal]

Glad it helped. Having the 2 separate programs is a little different. Think of R as the engine and drivetrain of a car and RStudio as the steering wheel, dash and other controls.

1:40 whats the process? where is the Rinstallr located? no mentioned afterwards???!

[@NeostormXLMAX]

ok nvm it took me an hour to actually find installr in the list of hundreds of thousands of packages but damn this tutorial could have been better.

[@ModVal]

Glad you figured out how to install the package. I have separate videos on how to install this package and packages in general. For future questions on the same issue, here are the videos: A short on how to update only R, not RStudio, including how to install the package from R: kzbin.infotygBL3n3T8o?feature=share A more comprehensive video on installing packages in RStudio: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4HXooWXfrB1bNE

[@nevine2875]

When I type updateR, it gives me this newest version does not work on my PC. How can I update for other version ?

[@ModVal]

Do you mean R or RStudio? The latest version of R is 4.4.1. The 4.4 versions require at least Windows 11. Prior versions can be found here: cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/base/old/. The current version of RStudio is 2024.04.2. If you need prior versions of it, they can be found here: docs.posit.co/previous-versions/rstudio.html.

I have Mac when I come to update r I write code correctly but window for update r didn't show up on my screen

[@ModVal]

It's my understanding that the installR package only works on Windows computers. There is a package called updateR available on github that works for Macs (more info: github.com/AndreaCirilloAC/updateR). I've never tried it. I haven't used a Mac for a few years now. The following lines of code can be used to install the package: library(devtools) *(you may need to install this package first) install_github('andreacirilloac/updateR') library(updateR) updateR(admin_password = 'Admin user password') Again, I've never used this, so not sure how well it works, or if it works at all. In the past, I think I just uninstalled the old version and installed the latest version of R for Mac, but I think you can install the latest version in addition to the current version and point RStudio to the current version in the Global Options. I never ran into any issues doing it that way, but that's not to say that you might run into some problems.

[@Sakshi-h2w]

They said there is no package installr

[@ModVal]

If you are on a mac, then you are correct. The installr package is not available for mac. There is a package called updateR available on github that works for Macs (more info: github.com/AndreaCirilloAC/updateR). I've never tried it, but you might want to check it out. If you are on a PC, here is a link to the package on CRAN: cran.r-project.org/web/packages/installr/index.html You'll need to install it before you try library(installr)

[@ramoda13]

helpful thank you

[@ModVal]

You’re welcome. Glad to know it helped. What else would be helpful for RStudio?

[@casecao8412]

there is no package called ''installr"

[@ModVal]

If you are on a mac, then you are correct. The installr package is not available for mac. If you are on a PC, here is a link to the github for installr: talgalili.github.io/installr/ . There is a package called updateR available on github that works for Macs (more info: github.com/AndreaCirilloAC/updateR). I've never tried it, but you might want to check it out.

[@alexis_withluv]

I tried to install 'installr' using install.packages but I am getting an error "ERROR: failed to lock directory..." Edit: Nevermind I figured it out, I only had to modify the R file in my device. Still, great video!

[@ModVal]

I'm glad you figured it out. The installr package makes the process much easier. Thanks for the comments!
