I have updated my R to the latest version, that is R version 3.1.0 beta (2014-03-28 r65330). My problems is that ggplot2 does not have a version that supports this R.
How can I fix this issue? I mean I guess I need to install an earlier version of R, but apart from this, which refers to Windows I hadn't found any specific way to install an older version.
UPDATE
#Yilun Zhang I cannot find the place where I should change the R version. Where should it be:
Just try again or tomorrow.
You ended up with a (March 28) prerelease of R 3.1.0 which came today (April 10). The CRAN mirrors were not yet set up for this (at that point: unreleased) version 3.1.0. They are now. You should find ggplot2.
If you are using RStudio and have the older r version:
go to the navigation bar
go to tools
Global options
there is a section where you can choose the r version
If you are using just the R console, just go to the old r directory and open it.

If you look at the grf package here, you will notice that it has three versions:
It seems that r-devel is the developing version, r-release is the released version and r-olderel is the older version. However, what is weird is that they share the exact same version number 0.10.2. Why don't they change the version number if the versions are different?
Because it's the same version. What that is telling you is that for grf which version is the most up to date if you're using r-devel, or r-release, or r-oldrel. In some cases the versions can be different. For instance if a package just updated and now requires the latest and greatest version of R then the version that shows up in r-oldrel will reflect that those running the previous release (i.e. r-oldrel) will need to use the previous version of the package since they won't be able to install the newest version since it requires the newest version of R.
So in short - those aren't codenames for the version of the package you're looking at. They're referring the version of R.
I need to install a package that gives the following error so I am looking for a solution to that. The first approach is looking at ways to chose the right R version.
Should I spend some more time on this or there are other approaches to overcome this issue?
For this package you need R (≥ 3.5.0), so R 3.4.4 is not sufficient for standard installation.
Check on the cran website of the package for further information.

Edit: wibeasley mentioned a new link in the commentary for updating R 3.5.0 on Ubuntu.

I have R 3.4.3 installed on my computer. When I point R Studio to this version of R, the program loads a white screen.
Is R Studio compatible with R 3.4.x? What is the highest version of compatibility?
It actually would depend on the version of Rstudio. For the latest ones - yes it is. If your Rstudio is outdated (version 0.*.*) it might have problems with the newest versions of R.
The first step would be to check your R installation. Start R without Rstudio and see if it works. If it doesn't you need to re-install R. If R works fine, then reinstalling Rstudio might be the easiest solution.
I did a lot of scripting on R 3.3.2 , and then I figured out that I have to use version 3.3.3
Problem is package AnomalyDetection doesn't exist on 3.3.3 (don't confuse with anomalyDetection (lower case 'a')).
Can I somehow use that package from older version? Isn't there some thing in R that makes older stuff work on newer version ?
If you have both versions installed and use emacs with ESS, is pretty straightforward to open any of them by typing
M-x R-3.3.2
or
M-x R-3.3.3
So you could just go back to the older version for your specific purposes.
The alternative is, Do you really need to have R-3.3.3 for any specific reason? if no, just install back R-3.3.2 and use it.
I'm trying to use R through SPSS syntax (I'm using SPSS 18 on windows 7) which requires installing a special plugin: PASWStatistics_RPlugIn_1802_win32.exe. Also I had to install an older version of R(2.8.1 - required by my older version of SPSS - i like it better than the new ones). The plugin now works, R (both versions) works, but Rstudio stopped working and won't start even after uninstalling and re-installing.
Does anyone have any similar experience and could suggest a solution?
The following link specifies how you can configure Rstudio to work with a specific R version you have installed:
http://www.rstudio.com/ide/docs/advanced/versions_of_r
Just install R 2.8 and 2.14 and let spss use one, and Rstudio another.
You are taking a risk by using old versions of spss and R (bugs that have been fixed in newer versions, decreased performance, possible incompatibility with other software e.g. R packages, missing functionality).
You can have multiple versions of R installed at the same time - I have five. The current version of Statistics, 21, goes with R2.14. I don't know how Rstudio determines which version to use. You might need to reset the R environment variables or your path settings.
