Dear all, I am working on Linux Ubuntu 16.04 and I have installed R 3.2. I need to upgrade to R 3.3 and I tried several options available online with no success. I downloaded the tar.gz file for R 3.3 and I would like to ask how can I use this file in order to accomplish the upgrade. Many thanks, Luigi

Have you looked here: https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#Installing-R-under-Unix_002dalikes ? Cheers, Loris

There is a dedicated e-mail list for R on Debian and derivatives like Ubuntu: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-debian You should subscribe to that list and then post your query there. The answer to your question will depend, to a large extent, on how you installed R in the first place. There are pre-compiled binaries available for R on Debian and derivatives, thanks to extensive efforts on the part of Dirk and others to maintain those repositories. The R-SIG-Debian subscribers can help you, but be sure to indicate how you installed the version of R that you are currently using when you post there. Regards, Marc Schwartz
For this query I would rather recommend [1] as reference, though Marc's suggestion to switch mailing lists is best. [1] https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/

But doesn't this merely describe how to install the version of R packaged for his version of Ubuntu? As I understood the OP, he has already installed this version, which is 3.2.3, but would like to install 3.3.1, which he will have to install from the sources. If this is the case, then there is no point reposting to r-sig-debian, since he just has to do a generic unix-like install. Cheers, Loris

Dear Luigi, You have to modify the /etc/apt/source.list file in order to add a new depot to get a new R version. Everything is explained on the page https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ . Alain

No, the default Ubuntu version is behind but that link tells how to properly install the current version using the packaging system, which makes it more easily maintained than a custom compile would be. (Thanks, Dirk, Michael and Vincent!) Anyway, still OT here.
