Functions for updating and installing a new version of R and
other software - from R
Description
The 'installr' package aims at making the process of
updating R on Windows as easy as possible, the main function
for this purpose is the updateR() function. Also, the package
contains a set of functions allowing users to install new
software (on Windows OS) using R. While for Linux users, the
installation process of new software may be just running a
short line of code, for the regular Windows user it often
includes browsing online, finding the latest version,
downloading it, running the installer, and deleting the
installation file. All of these steps are automatically done
using functions in this package.
