# R version switcher for macOS

## Installation

```bash

mkdir -p ~/bin

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/klmr/switch-r/main/switch-r >~/bin/switch-r

chmod +x ~/bin/switch-r

```

Next, ensure that `~/bin` is on your `PATH` — or copy the script to a location

that is.

## Usage

```bash

⟩⟩⟩ switch-r --help

/Users/konrad/bin/switch-r [--list|--current|‹version›]

⟩⟩⟩ switch-r -l # or --list

· 3.5

· 3.6

✔︎ 4.0

· 4.1

```

switch-r only looks for R versions installed as a framework via the original

pkg, either from [r-project.org](https://r-project.org/), or via `brew install

--cask r`. Other installed versions of R are ignored.

The script works by switching the `Current` symlink under

`/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/` to the specified framework version.

This requires that the R library path includes the R version (e.g. [by setting

`R_LIBS_USER` to contain

`%v`](https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/libPaths.html)),

otherwise loading packages may not work.
