I just followed the instructions on CRAN<http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/README> to install R on an Ubuntu instance. sudo apt-get install r-base
Why does it install an old version of R? Can I install version 15.1? I changed my sources.list to be a current cran mirror. I believe that I have entered the URL correctly because at first I had it wrong (there was a trailing "/"), and I fixed that error. when I run sudo apt-get install r-base it says that I'm at the most current version, but I can see 15.1 in the repository. > sessionInfo()R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C LC_TIME=C LC_COLLATE=C [5] LC_MONETARY=C LC_MESSAGES=C LC_PAPER=C LC_NAME=C [9] LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C LC_MEASUREMENT=C LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tools_2.14.1 > Thank you, Gene Leynes _____________________________________________ *Data Scientist* *http://www.linkedin.com/in/geneleynes * <http://goog_598053156>*http://geneorama.com/ <http://geneorama.com/%20>* [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
