# updateR : update your R version in a breeze (on a Mac)

### Installation

**updateR** is not currently on CRAN. To install it, you can use the devtools package: 

```{r, eval = F}

install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("AndreaCirilloAC/updateR")

```


### Usage

To update R, run `updateR(admin_password = <PASSWORD>)` with your system password. The function will display the version that R has been updated to when it finishes. 
**previously installed packages will be installed back ( this may require time)**
