I am unable to update the R version in the qiime2 virtual machine. Currently I am running R 3.3 and would like to upgrade to 3.4. Tried everything but couldn’t succeed. Any help would be appreciated!
Hi @sourav! Unfortunately, R 3.3 is a requirement for QIIME 2 right now, which is why we ship with that version. You could always create a new conda
environment and install a newer version of R
there, if you wish:
# this first one is to unload the environment loaded by default in the VirtualBox builds
$ source deactivate
$ conda create -n my-r-3.4-env
$ source activate my-r-3.4-env
$ conda install r
You could also run a different VirtualBox VM and install R
there, too (the VM doesn’t have to be the QIIME 2 VM!).
Hope that helps!
