[R] Upgrade R 3.2 to 3.3 using tar.gz file on Ubuntu 16.04
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

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/ -- Sent from my phone.

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/ .
