install.compatible.packages: Install the Newest Usable Version of R packages

In duckmayr/oldr: Provides Tools to Install the Latest Available Versions of R Packages for Old Versions of R

Description

Looks through the CRAN archives for the newest published version of R packages that are compatible with the version of R installed.

Usage

install.compatible.packages(package_name,
  R_version = "installed_version", lib = .libPaths()[1])

Arguments

package_name	A character vector of names of packages to install
R_version	A character vector giving the R version(s) to attempt installation for. The default, "installed_version", will attempt installation for the version of R from which the function was called. Any entry that does not contain a version number (e.g. "3.4.3") will be ignored.
lib	A character vector giving the directories to install the packages to (see install.packages). The vector should be either length one or of the same length as R_version; the first element will be used for installing packages for the first R version supplied, the second for the second version, etc.; if only one lib is supplied, all packages for all versions will be installed in that directory, so if installation is done for multiple R versions, the only surviving installations will be for the last supplied element of R_version. The default is the first element of .libPaths().
