[R-sig-Debian] Ensuring latest version of R is installed
Hi there, following the instructions shown here: r-bloggers.com/ec2-micro-instance-of-rstudio I used sudo apt-get install r-baseto insall R on an Amazon EC2 server, but when I do that I get an old cersion of R> R.version.string[1] "R version 2.12.1 (2010-12-16)" Do you know how I can change this command so that it installs the latest version?Also are the ubuntu version numbers exactly equivalent to their windows version numbers? In particular I want to ensure the package "parallel" is installed. Kind Regards Hugh [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Please read the README in the bin/linux/ubuntu/ directory on any CRAN mirror, eg cran.us.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu and follow the instructions. By adding a new and current source of R packages, provided by CRAN, you get the current version of R -- ie 2.15.1 Dirk -- Dirk Eddelbuettel | edd at debian.org | dirk.eddelbuettel.com
