⚠️There's a newer version (0.23.4) of this package.Take me there.
installr (version 0.9.2)
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. Also, the package
contains a (growing) set of functions for allowing users to
install new software (on Windows OS) using R. By simply running
the installr() function, the user can easily select (via a GUI
interface) a software to install. There are also dedicated
functions for installing each software, such as: updateR(),
install.Rtools(), install.pandoc(), and many more. 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.
