Update R using RStudio

Question

I am using RStudio with R version 2.15.0 and would like to update to the latest R version.

How can this be achieved using RStudio?

Answer 1

You can use the installr package in windows to update R from RStudio as follows:

install.packages("installr")

library(installr)

 

updateR()

It will update to the latest version of R if available and also copy and update all of your packages.
