I?m a newbie running 3.2.4 on a mac equipped with Yosemite (10.10.5).
I want to update to 3.3.1 and have downloaded the package, but have not been
able to install it. I?ve tried install.packages("R-3.3.1.tar.gz?) and
install.packages("R-3.3.1.pkg?) after downloading both files.
I get an error msg - "package ?R-3.3.1.pkg? is not available (for R version
3.2.4)"
I know this question has shown up on several message boards but I?m having
trouble understanding the process.
Is there a straightforward way to update my version of R and, if successful,
will R automatically work with the packages I?ve installed?

Hi Ken,
You are trying to install R as a package. That won't work. The .pkg file you
downloaded from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/ is an installer, though,
so if you just double-click on it, it should take you through the installation.
After that you probably need to install a number of packages, since the ones you
have installed for version 3.2 R won't be available in the 3.3 installation,
but *those* packages you can install using install.packages.
Cheers

After double clicking on the R-3.3.1.pkg you will have R 3.3.1 installed. You don't need to run install.packages to get the packages for R-3.3.1. You can have R install the current versions of the packages you had installed. Start the R GUI. Go to the menu: - Click Packages & Data - select Package Installer - click Get List - click the disclosure triangle in the Package Search input field. And then click Select packages from R..... This should work if your previous installation of R was installed by the regular installer of R on Mac OS X.

Follow up on my previous mail. See the FAQ for OS X :https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html Read the section "3.2 Installation of packages". It tells it all. (reachable from the contents entry "How to install packages").
