R help - May 2019 - Help understanding the relationship between R-3.6.0 and RStudio

Hello.

I do not think I have had this problem (assuming it is a problem) in the past.

I downloaded and installed R3.6.0 which is indicted in the console when I open R
itself.

R version 3.6.0 RC (2019-04-24 r76423) -- "Planting of a Tree"
Copyright (C) 2019 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)

However, in RStudio the sessionInfo() remains

R version 3.5.3 (2019-03-11)
Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)
Running under: Windows 10 x64 (build 17134)

I also installed the latest version of RStudio 1.2.1335 as well
"after" installing R 3.6.0.

I also rebooted my computer.

I am not sure why this time the two do not seem to be (for lack of a better
word) in sink?

Thank you for any insight

This is actually a question about RStudio, not R, so is technically off topic. 
However, I think the answer to your question is in the Global Options (General)
configuration screen.

Hi,

I don't use RStudio, which is a GUI/IDE on top of R, it is not R.

That being said, a quick Google search supports my intuition, which is that
RStudio appears to be able to support multiple R version installations:

 
https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200486138-Changing-R-versions-for-RStudio-desktop

RStudio also has their own support venue:

  https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us

If I read correctly, it looks like you actually installed a "Release
Candidate" (RC) version of 3.6.0 for Windows. So you probably want to visit
a CRAN mirror and download the release version of 3.6.0:

R version 3.6.0 (2019-04-26) -- "Planting of a Tree"

If you do not want to have multiple R versions on your computer, you can use the
normal Windows application uninstall process to remove the older version(s).

Regards,

Marc Schwartz

Thank you Jeff, I will review the Global Options.

Thank you Mark, I was unaware of the RC distinction and the multiple R version
issue.

Appreciate your help.

I fixed it by removing previous versions as suggested.
> sessionInfo()
R version 3.6.0 RC (2019-04-24 r76423)
Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)
Running under: Windows 10 x64 (build 17134)

I will have to go out and get the non RC version now.

Thank you.
