Find Package Library
Description
The function searches the system paths to find the location of the
previous R version's system library location.
It is not recommended to use this function!
Rather, we recommend that a user simply opens the previous version of R
and runs .libPaths() to find the library location(s).
Usage
find_previous_library_location()
Value
package library location
Examples
find_previous_library_location()
Re-install Packages from Previous Installation
Description
Provided the location of the previous R installation's package
library, the function will attempt to re-install each of the
packages found. Packages are installed with renv::install()
and will be added to the 'renv' package cache.
Packages can be installed from GitHub, GitLab, BioConductor, and
any repository listed in getOption("repos"). This would typically
be from CRAN and any other secondary repositories that may be set.
Usage
install_pkgs(lib.loc = NULL)
Arguments
lib.loc |
character vector describing the location of R library trees to search through |
Examples
if (interactive()) {
install_pkgs()
}
R Versions
Description
These functions return the current R version and the the previously installed R version. The format of the returned version matches the default folder name where R is installed.
Usage
r_version()
previous_r_version()
Value
string of R version
Examples
r_version()
previous_r_version()
