updating R on Windows as easy as possible. Also, the package
contains a (growing) set of functions for allowing users to
install new software (on Windows OS) using R. By simply running
the installr() function, the user can easily select (via a GUI
interface) a software to install. There are also dedicated
functions for installing each software, such as: updateR(),
install.Rtools(), install.pandoc(), and many more. While for
Linux users, the installation process of new software may be

downloading it, running the installer, and deleting the
installation file. All of these steps are automatically done
