I am running on a computer without sudo privileges with R version 2.13.1 installed, and I want to install a package (Rcpp). If I try to install the package via install.packages()
I get
package ‘Rcpp’ is not available (for R version 2.13.1)
I think because by default in CRAN requires R version 2.15 and up.
I can’t update my R version as I’m not superuser. Is there anyway way (without sudo) to install and old version of Rcpp for my old R version?
Can’t you just install from source? You can download the older versions of
Rccpfrom the package archive.Read the help file (
?install.packages) for instructions, but basically you provide the path to the downloaded package and setrepostoNULL. You may also need to specify a differentlibpath if you don’t have sufficient privileges to install to the default R library.I have not tried it, but you may also want to try this function which lets you specify the version of a package you want to install.
