This document provides instructions for installing the ggplot2 package in R on different operating systems. The easiest method is to use install.packages("ggplot2") in RStudio. If that does not work, an alternative is to install from GitHub using devtools::install_github("tidyverse/ggplot2"). For different operating systems like Ubuntu, Mac, and Windows, there are additional commands provided to install via CRAN.
Ggplot2 Installation Instructions
- 1. Ggplot2 Installation Instructions for R This method usually works best. Via RStudio (Regardless or Operating System): • install.packages(“ggplot2”) • library(“ggplot2”) If the above method has not worked try installing from GitHub as an alternative. Type the command below directly in RStudio. Via Github: devtools::install_github("tidyverse/ggplot2") If the methods above did not work you can install via CRAN. When it comes to CRAN there are different instructions based on the operating system that you use. Via CRAN: Ubuntu: Type the following commands in the terminal: sudo apt-get update -y sudo apt-get install -y r-cran-ggplot2 Mac: Type the following command in the terminal: 1) install.binaries(reshape2, lib, CRAN = getOption("https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/el- capitan/contrib/3.6/ggplot2_3.2.1.tgz"), contriburl = contrib.url(CRAN, type = "mac.binary"), method, available = NULL, destdir = NULL, installWithVers = FALSE) 2) install.binaries(reshape2, lib, CRAN = getOption("https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/el- capitan/contrib/3.5/ggplot2_3.2.1.tgz"), contriburl = contrib.url(CRAN, type = "mac.binary"), method, available = NULL, destdir = NULL, installWithVers = FALSE) Windows: Type the following command in the terminal:
- 2. 1) install.binaries(reshape2, lib, CRAN = getOption("https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/ 4.0/ggplot2_3.2.1.zip"), contriburl = contrib.url(CRAN, type = "windows.binary"), method, available = NULL, destdir = NULL, installWithVers = FALSE) 2) install.binaries(reshape2, lib, CRAN = getOption("https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/ r-devel-gcc8/ggplot2_3.2.1.zip"), contriburl = contrib.url(CRAN, type = "windows.binary"), method, available = NULL, destdir = NULL, installWithVers = FALSE) 3) install.binaries(reshape2, lib, CRAN = getOption("https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/ 3.6/ggplot2_3.2.1.zip"), contriburl = contrib.url(CRAN, type = "windows.binary"), method, available = NULL, destdir = NULL, installWithVers = FALSE) 4) install.binaries(reshape2, lib, CRAN = getOption("https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/ 3.5/ggplot2_3.2.1.zip"), contriburl = contrib.url(CRAN, type = "windows.binary"), method, available = NULL, destdir = NULL, installWithVers = FALSE)
