R in pythonanywhere

Hi everybody.

I've just noticed that R is no more installed in Pythonanywhere...but it was in July 2017.

Why is R no more in your files directory?

By the way, I have a "free" account which I created last year (June).

In that account I still have R within my files.

Today I created a Web Dev Account, but in this account R is not installed T-T

What happened?

You should be able to run R just fine from a Bash console:

harry@giles-liveconsole3:~$ which R
/usr/bin/R

harry@giles-liveconsole3:~$ R
R version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25) -- "Frisbee Sailing"
Copyright (C) 2013 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)
[...etc]

What happens when you try it?

Hi Harry, thanks a lot.

Do you know how can I update the version of R ?

I need some packages which uses the last version of this.

thanks in advance.

Unfortunately you can't upgrade R inside PythonAnywhere :-(
