How important is it that I have R 4.4.3 vs. R 4.4.1? I can't do any installs without my IT person. Otherwise, I can do the work on my personal computer (if I need the updated version to move forward).
Jane Fields • March 22, 2025
You also mention that if we don't have the most recent version, we should update. How do I find out what the most recent version is? Also, is this something you recommend always doing as you work in R/R Studio? Finally, when I go up to the top (in Windows) and see RStudio, there's no option for About R Studio to see the version. Is there somewhere else I should look?
Gracielle Higino Coach • March 23, 2025
Hi Jane! To check the most recent version of R you can visit the CRAN website and compare the number of the latest version available there with the version of your installed R (which shows up in the bar above the console panel). You can, alternatively, use the
{installR}package to manage that.About the RStudio updates, if you don't have a menu called "Rstudio", you can check the "Help" menu on the top bar as well. You can go to Help > Check for updates
Finally, about the importance of updating your softwares, a good rule is that updates that change the first digit of the version number are mandatory (e.g., 4.1.1 -> 5.1.1); updates that change the second digit are optional (e.g., 4.1.1 -> 4.2.1; consider updating if the change is too big), and updates that change the third number can be ignored, overall (unless, maybe, if you're developing a package or something like that).
