The goal of updater is to ease the R update process. The package will re-install packages available on your previous version of R into the system library of your new installation. The package uses {renv} to install the packages, adding each installation into your {renv} cache.
Importantly, the package re-installs the packages and does not copy them from the previous R installation library. R packages for minor R releases (e.g. R 4.1 to R 4.2) may not be compatible, which is why it’s important to re-install the packages and not copy them.
Record location of current R system library
.libPaths() into the console. The current R system library
locations will print to the console: save these file locations,
e.g. copy and past the locations into Notepad or TextEdit.find_previous_library_location() from your
updated R session, but it’s recommended to use .libPaths()
now to ensure accuracy. It’s likely that this function only works on
Windows machines. If you are a Mac or Linux user and
would like to contribute to your OS’s functionality, please file an
issue on GitHub.Install R
Install packages
install.packages("updater").updater::install_pkgs(lib.loc = c("<location(s) saved in Step 1>")).
As mentioned above, if you didn’t record the location, you may try
to locate it with
find_previous_library_location().
