UCL Computers have two different versions of R and RStudio installed. Some packages require the newer version of R so make sure you're starting RStudio from the correct folder under the Start menu.
The old version appears under Applications Q-S, while the newer version is under it's own R 3.2.0 folder.
| Old Version, R 3.0.1 | New Version, R.3.2.0 |
|---|---|
The one under Applications Q-S is the old version |
The one under R 3.2.0 is the newer version |
