If you are running R on Windows, there is the package installr which will help you with the process of upgrading. And item 2.8 in the R for Windows FAQ has some information about upgrading also.> On 25 Jul 2015, at 06:41, Waqas Shafqat <waqas1518 at gmail.com> wrote: > > Dear sir, > > I am using currently R 3.1.3.

You have not included the output of session info() which suggests you have nit
read the Posting Guide... go do that now.
I am not aware of any install procedure that deletes R packages. You can usually
install multiple versions of R. Each X.Y version of R by default refers to a
different library directory. Therefore when you run a new version of R you are
likely to find that it does not find your packages.
However that is not the end of the world... just reinstall them if you don't
feel like paying attention to what the fine R Installation guide tells you. You
may find that sometimes package authors don't update their packages when a
new version of R comes out, so CRAN may archive those packages making it a bit
less easy to use them. However, there is no way for us to guide you before that
happens about your best approach afterward... some of your options may include
learning how to fix packages yourself, rolling back to an earlier version of R
(we generally can't help you if you take this route because the Posting
Guide warns you that the current released version of R is expected here), or
using a different package or your own code to perform the task.
Usually you can copy your old library directory onto the new one and
update.packages to update them.

Following what Erich wrote, if you are on Windows, there is also a step-by-step screenshot guide for upgrading R using the installr package: http://www.r-statistics.com/2015/06/a-step-by-step-screenshots-tutorial-for-upgrading-r-on-windows/ ----------------Contact Details:------------------------------------------------------- Contact me: Tal.Galili at gmail.com | Read me: www.talgalili.com (Hebrew) | www.biostatistics.co.il (Hebrew) | www.r-statistics.com (English) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Sat, Jul 25, 2015 at 10:24 AM, Erich Neuwirth < erich.neuwirth at univie.ac.at> wrote:> If you are running R on Windows, > there is the package installr which will help you with the process > of upgrading. > > And item 2.8 in the R for Windows FAQ has some information about upgrading > also. > > On 25 Jul 2015, at 06:41, Waqas Shafqat <waqas1518 at gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Dear sir, > > > > I am using currently R 3.1.3.
