R Documentation

Update installed packages with latest available versions

Description

Similar to update.packages, but works for archived, non-archived, and Github packages.

Usage

updatePackages(
  libPaths = .libPaths()[1],
  purge = FALSE,
  verbose = getOption("Require.verbose")
)

Arguments

`libPaths`	The library to update; defaults to `.libPaths()[1]`
`purge`	Logical. Should the assessment of `installed.packages` purge the cached version. Default is `FALSE`
`verbose`	Numeric or logical indicating how verbose should the function be. If -1 or -2, then as little verbosity as possible. If 0 or FALSE, then minimal outputs; if `1` or TRUE, more outputs; `2` even more. NOTE: in `Require` function, when `verbose >= 2`, also returns details as if `returnDetails = TRUE` (for backwards compatibility).

Value

Run for its side effect, namely, updating installed packages to their latest possible state, whether they are on CRAN currently, archived, or on GitHub.
