R Documentation

Update previously installed Bioconductor or CRAN packages and their dependencies.

Description

Update previously installed Bioconductor and CRAN packages and their dependencies. Use biocLite to install new packages or to update all out-of-date packages. Upgrading to a new Bioconductor release requires additional steps; see https://bioconductor.org/install.

Usage

biocUpdatePackages(pkgs, dependencies = NA, repos=biocinstallRepos(), ...)

Arguments

`pkgs`	`character()` of package names to install or update.
`dependencies`	`character()` describing out-of-date dependencies that are also updated. Defaults to `c("Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo")` but can be a subset of `c("Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo", "Suggests", "Enhances")`.
`repos`	`character()` of named repositories in which to look for package updates, in the style of `biocinstallRepos()`.
`...`	Additional arguments, passed to `update.packages`. For example, `ask=FALSE` to avoid prompts to update individual packages.

Value

‘NULL’, invisibly.
