Dear experts,
I have to install ggplot2 packages for R 2.11 and 2.12 but this is
available for 2.14 only.
My question: are there urls for previous R version which can be use in
install.packages ?
Generally old copies of source packages are stored on CRAN, but not old
binaries. So you'll need to figure out which versions of ggplot2 you
want, and install them yourself.
Actually, binaries are usually there, e.g.
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.11/ggplot2_0.8.9.zip .
ok, thanks.
And I would expect install.packages() in the appropriate version of R
to find these.
No, unfortunately it does not find it:
> sessionInfo()
R version 2.12.2 (2011-02-25)
> install.packages( "ggplot2" )
Installing package(s) into ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
package ‘ggplot2’ is not available
Which does say explicitly that 'R 2.11 and R 2.12' do not exist and
that we only support current R (read R >= 2.14.2 at present).
I know that the 2.14 is the most recent version, and the ggplot2
requirement >=2.14, but I have no permission to upgrade the R in our
linux system, so I was looking for an url, which help me to install
ggplot2 and its dependencies in a simple way for R version 2.12.2.
Now I see that I have to download and install all required packages
manually.
Thanks for suggestions
Miklos
