prepare_install is soft-deprecated, use prepare_install2
instead.
Installing packages in R session could require restarts if
a package to be updated has been loaded. Normally restarting R
fixes the problem. However, under some circumstances, such as with a
startup code in profile, restarting R might still fail the
installation. prepare_install2 starts a new session with clean
environments for installation.
