It doesn't mysteriously appear on any system. You create it to personalise certain aspects of your use of R and runtime: I currently have this in mine (Linux): $ cat ~/.Rprofile options(repos = "http://cran.uk.r-project.org";) You need to check out the Windows specific help in regard to this aspect of configuring R as where you stick these files etc may be different on Windows.

Re: [R] About upgrade R
Tal My main use of R now is on Windows 7. As explained I always retain at least one previous version on windows 7 PCs. My upgrade is done as follows - 1) Download and install the binary install program for R and install. 2) Rename the library directory (default - C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.0patched\library) to library2. (Windows 7 will ask for confirmation) 3) Copy the library directory from the previous version of R to the R directory (default - C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.0patched\) ((Windows 7 will ask for confirmation). 4) copy the contents of the library2 directory to the library directory in the new R directory. 5) Right click on the R directory and select "run as administrator" to start R as administrator. 6) In R run some variant of update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE). On occasion one will find that packages are reporting errors in the CRAN compile and binary versions are not yet available for the new version of R. I delete these from the library directory and look in CRAN for possible explanations. Anyway I can revert back to the old version if I need these packages. Generally one may find that the missing packages are available shortly afterwards. . This procedure is fairly close to that recommended in the R FAQ and meets my needs. I think that it is necessary to keep libraries for different versions separate. Other users may have different requirements and other update methods may be more appropriate to them. There may be no method that is best for all users. I would imagine that one could write a DOS or Power Shell or Python (or other) script that would automate this process.

Re: [R] About upgrade R
Hi Ajay > wont it make more common sense to make updating packages also as part > of every base version install BY Default.. just saying I also have this doubt? The packages have been updated. Are those packages updated belong to version 2.12 OR still version 2.11.1 In Linux/Unix if the latest version, say 5.2.0, and the running version is 5.1.0 I have to upgrade the version NOT the packages.

Re: [R] About upgrade R
Hi John, thank you for that input. It could be that the code I wrote here: http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/04/changing-your-r-upgrading-strategy-and-the-r-code-to-do-it-on-windows/ Should be updated so every time you install a new R version, you run the code for it to: 1) copy all packages from the old R version to the new R version library 2) update all the packages. But I have no clue how to do step 1. How do you find out the latest R version that was install previous to the current one? And then, how would you find where it's package library is? If you could do this in R, then installing a new version of R could be made simpler for you.

The current method allows one to easily retain several versions working in parallel. This particularly important if some package is not available in the new version.

Re: [R] About upgrade R
Hi Stephen, I just happened to have upgraded my R today. Tips: 1) Make sure the folder has full permissions so that you'll be able to install/update packages on it. 2) I still find the advices (and code) I gave in that article to be worthwhile. And do pay attention to the directory into which you want to install the packages.
