What version of R supports ggplot2 on ubuntu?

[Satyajit Das]

On Ubuntu I am unable to install ggplot2 for R - as i have R version 3.01:

So I have two questions-
 How should i install the latest version of R > 3.01 on Ubuntu 14.04?
Please advise which  version of R > 3.01 supports ggplot2 on ubuntu.?

Unfortunately, the R Graphics Cookbook by W.Chang does not provide this information, and I'm unable to proceed.

Thanks
Satya

apt-get upgrade

reboot

R
# still 3.01 ?

install.packages("ggplot2")

What are the error messages you get when you try to install? Which tool do you use to install? Through R's install.packages() or debians apt-get system?

It's generally pretty easy to install from R. Assuming ggplot doesn't put a cap on previous R version, you do install.packages("ggplot2.tar.gz", type = "source") and it should compile fine.

In any case, searching the internet for the error you get should probably yield at least some posts that talk about possible solutions.

Cheers,

Roman

Hi Satrajit,

I had made a video sometime ago to install R and how to upgrade. Take a look at it when you have a chance. You should be able to install ggplot once you have upgraded just make sure you start R in sudo mode.

Here's the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxl7HDUyw0I
