Hi, My R version is old, and I would like to update it. How can I update R and keep all the libraries?

This question has been asked by many people already. The easiest way is:
1) install the new version
2) copy all or the libraries that you installed later from the
"library" folder
of older version to the new version
3) uninstall the old version
4) do a library update in the new version
Done!

Hi Yunfei, It really depends to some extent on the version of R (and your OS) you were using. Here is a link to a blog post that discusses some potential strategies: http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/04/changing-your-r-upgrading-strategy-and-the-r-code-to-do-it-on-windows/ There are also a number of messages if you search the R-help archive. However, old version of libraries may not be portable to the most recent R, so you may need to update R and update all your libraries too.
