R version

Try the steps below:

1. Install the version of R you want to use (e.g., R-4.3.1)

2. Open RGUI from the R you installed in step 1 above.

3. Run following R script from RGUI to install all the required R packages. You may get a prompt for creating a user library location. Note this library location. You will need this 'user library path' in the steps below.

4. Install BlueSky R package. Go to the location where you have installed BlueSky Statistics application(default location: C:\Program Files\BlueSky Statistics). Go to "C:\Program Files\BlueSky Statistics\10\resources\package\R-4.1.3\library". Copy "BlueSky" folder and paste it in the location where you installed the required R packages in the step 3 above.

5. Open Windows File Explorer. In the address bar type %appdata%. Go inside "BlueSky Statistics" folder and open "config.json" in any text editor(e.g. Notepad or Notepad++).

6. Find following block of text in config.json file and modify the values in front of "R_HOME" and "R_USER" keys.

"pyOptionsWin": {

"mode": "text",

"pythonPath": "",

"pythonOptions": [

"-u"

],

"scriptPath": "",

"env": {

"PYTHONPATH": "",

"R_HOME": "package/R-4.1.3",

"R_USER": ""

}

},

7. Modify the path for "R_HOME" so that it points to the R that you want to use (e.g., R-4.3.1)

e.g.

"R_HOME”: "C:/Program Files/R/R-4.3.1",

NOTE: use forward slash (/) in the path above instead of backslash (\)

8. Add library path for "R_USER". This path is the same path where you installed all the required R packages in step 3 above.

e.g.

"R_USER": "C:/Users/YOUR-USER-NAME/Appdata/Local/R/win-library/4.3"

NOTE: use forward slash (/) in the path above instead of backslash (\)

9. Save and close the config.json file.

10. Go to the location where you installed BlueSky Statistics application (default location is: C:\Program Files\BlueSky Statistics).

11. Go inside folder "10". Open “.Renviron” file in any text editor in administrator mode (e.g. open notepad++ as an admin and then open .Renviron file). Backup the content of this file just in case and edit the file and put the new R_HOME, the one that you used in step 7 above.

12. Save and close the “.Renviron” file.

13. Now try to launch the BlueSky Statistics application.

14. If the application does not launch successfully, you can revert your changes in ".Renviron" file and "config.json" file to go back to using the R shipped with the application.

15. Now launch the application.
