[R] How to update R?

[Joshua Wiley]

Hi Yunfei,

It really depends to some extent on the version of R (and your OS) you
were using.  Here is a link to a blog post that discusses some
potential strategies:
http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/04/changing-your-r-upgrading-strategy-and-the-r-code-to-do-it-on-windows/

There are also a number of messages if you search the R-help archive.
However, old version of libraries may not be portable to the most
recent R, so you may need to update R and update all your libraries
too.

Cheers,

Josh
