[env: Windows, R 3.6.6] When I start R from the R Gui icon or from RStudio, I get a large number of packages loaded via a namespace. Not entirely clear where these come from.
As a result, I often run into problems updating packages because something is already loaded. How can start a new gui session with minimal packages loaded? > sessionInfo() R version 3.6.3 (2020-02-29) Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) Running under: Windows 7 x64 (build 7601) Service Pack 1 Matrix products: default locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252 LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252 [3] LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252 LC_NUMERIC=C [5] LC_TIME=English_United States.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] statmod_1.4.34 xfun_0.18 tidyselect_1.1.0 reshape2_1.4.4 purrr_0.3.4 mitools_2.4 [7] splines_3.6.3 lattice_0.20-41 coefplot_1.2.6 carData_3.0-4 colorspace_1.4-1 vctrs_0.3.4 [13] generics_0.0.2 htmltools_0.5.0 yaml_2.2.1 survival_3.2-7 rlang_0.4.7 pillar_1.4.6 [19] nloptr_1.2.2.2 glue_1.4.2 DBI_1.1.0 lifecycle_0.2.0 plyr_1.8.6 stringr_1.4.0 [25] effects_4.2-0 munsell_0.5.0 gtable_0.3.0 evaluate_0.14 knitr_1.30 fansi_0.4.1 [31] Rcpp_1.0.5 scales_1.1.1 useful_1.2.6 fs_1.4.2 lme4_1.1-23 packrat_0.5.0 [37] ggplot2_3.3.2 digest_0.6.25 stringi_1.4.6 insight_0.9.6 dplyr_1.0.2 survey_4.0 [43] grid_3.6.3 cli_2.1.0 tools_3.6.3 magrittr_1.5 tibble_3.0.4 crayon_1.3.4 [49] pkgconfig_2.0.3 ellipsis_0.3.1 MASS_7.3-53 Matrix_1.2-18 reprex_0.3.0 assertthat_0.2.1 [55] minqa_1.2.4 rmarkdown_2.4 rstudioapi_0.11 R6_2.4.1 boot_1.3-25 nnet_7.3-14 [61] nlme_3.1-149 compiler_3.6.3 > Michael Friendly Email: friendly AT yorku DOT ca Professor, Psychology Dept. & Former Chair, ASA Statistical Graphics Section York University Voice: 416 736-2100 x66249 4700 Keele Street Web: http://www.datavis.ca | @datavisFriendly Toronto, ONT M3J 1P3 CANADA ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
