I want to update R with ubuntu from 3.0.3 to 3.1.2. I am working on Ubuntu 14.04LTS, 64bits.
I did the following:
cd /etc/apt/
sudo gedit sources.list
I added the following line :
deb http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/linux/ubuntu trusty/
Then :
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E084DAB9
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install r-base
Some files were uploaded.
Then I checked the R version :
sudo R
version
platform x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
arch x86_64
os linux-gnu
system x86_64, linux-gnu
status
major 3
minor 0.3
year 2014
month 03
day 06
svn rev 65126
language R
version.string R version 3.0.3 (2014-03-06)
nickname Warm Puppy
I still have the 3.0.3 version, can someone help me to upgrade to 3.1.2?

If you want to update R and RStudio: There, you can go to the “R” menu and click “Check for R Updates” (see image below). If you do that, R will tell you the current version you're on, and whether or not there is a more updated version that you can download (circled in blue).
For command line use you can update R by running: require(installr) updateR() # this will open dialog boxes to take you through the steps. Or install a new software simply by running: require(installr) installr() # user can easily select (via a GUI interface) a software to install.
Updating RStudio is easy, just go to Help > Check for Updates to install newer version.
From within RStudio, go to Help > Check for Updates to install newer version of RStudio (if available, optional). To update packages, go to Tools > Check for Package Updates. If updates are available, select All (or just tidyverse), and click Install Updates.
Ok, I fixed it.
In synaptic package manager, I saw that R-3.1.2 was installed in the following directory (and the executable is called R) : /usr/lib/R/bin/R
And when I type
which R
It returns:
/usr/local/bin/R
So the source of R is not the same path than the one which was updated. I've just copy-pasted the new executable (which was in /usr/lib/R/bin/ in the good directory /usr/local/bin/).
