Please see ?rlang::lifecycle for the list of functions that are considered stable. What do you need to know about the Rlang package? I believe the simplest solution would be downloading the source package and installing it as source. The issue is that for whatever reason the binary version you have access to is of version 0.4.5, but the source version (which needs compiling) is of version 0.4.10.

Which is the newer version of Rlang 0.4.5?įirst of all: your version is not newer, it’s older. The R language is widely used among statisticians and data miners for developing statistical software and data analysis. R is a programming language and free software environment for statistical computing and graphics supported by the R Core Team and the R Foundation for Statistical Computing. When you switch versions, the system will ask if you want to save your workspace before restarting your session. The drop down menu will allow you to select the version of R you want to use.

You can select different versions of R by selecting it from the drop down list at the top of the browser window.

Once you’ve got the new version up and running, reload the saved packages and re-install them from CRAN.

Install the new version of R and let it do it’s thing.

Before you upgrade, build a temp file with all of your old packages.

How do I update R without losing my packages? If updates are available, select All (or just tidyverse), and click Install Updates. To update packages, go to Tools > Check for Package Updates.

From within RStudio, go to Help > Check for Updates to install newer version of RStudio (if available, optional).
