rig

R Installation Manager

  • https://github.com/r-lib/rig
  • Follow README for installation instructions
  • Sets up user library - avoids problems with installing packages in system library that can happen e.g. with package check (R CMD check)
  • Mac menu bar app can open Rig.app e.g. from Spotlight, allows you to switch versions.
  • rig add devel to install latest version of R-devel
  • On Mac, can have issues if try to install old R versions that are only available for Intel architecture. Need to specify architecture e.g. rig add -a x86_64 3.6
