Install R 3.2.2 for Mac OSX 10.7.5 - r

It seems that CRAN will not provide binaries for 3.2.2 for OSX 10.6-10.8. The 3.2.1 binary is termed now legary binary.
Is there any way to get R 3.2.2 for a machine running 10.7.5 and has no option to upgrade past this OSX?

R graphics engine version 14 is not supported by this version of RStudio

I have installed R version 4.1.2 (2021-11-01) and I get the following message:
"R graphics engine version 14 is not supported by this version of RStudio. The Plots tab will be disabled until a newer version of RStudio is installed."
Is there any way to solve it other than uninstalling R and reinstalling it?
Thanks

can I force 64bit version installation of R in windows?

I did quite a bit of Google searches without success. when I download and install R in windows 10 64bit I cannot chose 64bit version and the 32bit version is installed. Can I somehow force the installation of the 64bit version of R in Windows? Thanks.
Maybe I talk nonsense and I have the 64 bit version installed? Version gives:
platform i386-w64-mingw32
arch i386
os mingw32
system i386, mingw32
status
major 4
minor 1.2
year 2021
month 11
day 01
svn rev 81115
language R
version.string R version 4.1.2 (2021-11-01)
nickname Bird Hippie
The reason I ask is that when I try to use reticulate it complained about it being 32-bit and I can also only use 4BG, which I think is a 32bit thing?

Install mxnet package in Rstudio Cloud

I want to install the package mxnet on Rstudio Cloud, which is the cloud version of Rstudio. I tried it first with R 3.6, then R 3.5.3, neither worked.
I tried to install from with this piece of code:
cran <- getOption("repos")
cran["dmlc"] <- "https://apache-mxnet.s3-accelerate.dualstack.amazonaws.com/R/CRAN/"
cran["dmlc"] <- "https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/apache-mxnet/R/CRAN/"
options(repos = cran)
install.packages("mxnet")
I got a 404 error file not found. Then i tried downloading the .tar.gz installation file associated with LInux/R/CPU, and it also gave an error:
ERROR: cannot extract package from
‘/cloud/project/apache-mxnet-src-1.5.0-incubating.tar.gz’
Here is my session info:
R version 3.5.3 (2019-03-11)
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)
Running under: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
Thanks for your help. I need to get this package installed and running on Rstudio Cloud.
RStudio Cloud is linux based
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)
The snippet you use is instruction for R on Windows CPU platform. R on Linux instruction there says to build it from source which wouldn't work on the cloud. Seems like no CRAN repo currently has binaries of the linux version of the mxnet package.
RStudio Cloud gives you access to the terminal and you can even download the sources for mxnet, but to build it you need sudo which the terminal doesn't provide so building from source stops on ./install_mxnet_ubuntu_r.sh command here:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet.git mxnet
cd mxnet/docs/install
./install_mxnet_ubuntu_r.sh

I have got the answer from this wonderful video. I highly recommend to watch the video if you have to install and/or upgrade R.

Rstudio hangs when loading XLConnect

I'm getting a hang in RStudio when I try and load XLConnect. It works find when I try from the same R console outside RStudio.
i.e. in RGui (64-bit)

But when I run in Rstudio the same R console hangs. I've confirmed that rJava loads so I think I have my Java environment correct

Appreciate any thoughts on what the issue is - it works fine on my laptop so not sure what's different

Seems to be an Rstudio issue fixed in the latest version - I updated Rstudio to 0.99.491 (from an earlier 0.99.x release but not sure the version) and it now works fine.
edit - although it sometimes still appears to hang but eventually the package loads?
