Hello,
Does anyone know of way to tell R in Windows to install from binaries whenever possible?
Despite binaries being the default choice for install.packages in Windows, whenever the binary version is older than the source one, the following prompt appears:
"There are binary versions available but the source versions are later"
and the package gets installed from source instead. This happens even when I set:
options(install.packages.check.source = "no")
which according to the docs it just suppresses the check (not the choice of installing from source)
Bear in mind I am issuing this instruction unattended so, I cannot make an interactive choice to potential prompts.
I am prioritizing the binary install even if it's not the latest version.
Many thanks
