Reinstall packages after updating R
When you change R version, you must reinstall manually all your installed packages. # before to update pkgins <- rownames(installed.packages()) save(pkgins, file = "pkgins.Rdata") # after updating load(file = "pkgins.Rdata") for (pkg in pkgins[is.na(match(pkgins, rownames(installed.packages())))]) { if (pkg %in% pkgins[is.na(match(pkgins, rownames(installed.packages())))]) { install.packages(pkg) } } The packages shown with: pkgins[is.na(match(pkgins, rownames(installed.packages())))] Are not available in CRAN or produced an error when installed with new version.
