Details

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.
