This question is actually for R-SIG-Mac.
After double clicking on the R-3.3.1.pkg you will have R 3.3.1 installed.
You don't need to run install.packages to get the packages for R-3.3.1.
You can have R install the current versions of the packages you had installed.
Start the R GUI.
Go to the menu:
- Click Packages & Data
- select Package Installer
- click Get List
- click the disclosure triangle in the Package Search input field. And then
click Select packages from R.....
This should work if your previous installation of R was installed by the
regular installer of R on Mac OS X.
