Dear Users,

I recently updated R version from 3.2 to 3.3 for the purpose of some package requirements. It needs to update package GenomicRanges to higher version, the current version of GenomicRanges is 1.22.4.
I used

source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")

biocLite("GenomicRanges")

to reinstall GenomicRanges, it is supposed to install v1.26.2 via the link

http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/GenomicRanges.html

After the installation, the version installed is still v1.22.4.
I tried to use

R CMD INSTALL --library=~/Downloads/GenomicRanges_1.26.1.tar.gz

There is error message "Error: ERROR: no packages specified".

I also tried to use

install.packages("GenomicRanges",lib="~/Downloads/GenomicRanges_1.26.1.tar.gz")

It shows as below: Warning in install.packages("GenomicRanges", lib = "/Users/jial2/Downloads/GenomicRanges_1.26.1.tar.gz") :   'lib = "/Users/jial2/Downloads/GenomicRanges_1.26.1.tar.gz"' is not writable Would you like to use a personal library instead?  (y/n) y Warning message: package ‘GenomicRanges’ is not available (for R version 3.3.2)

Please let me know how to update the version of GenomicRanges.

Thanks so much, it's been highly appreciated.

I would first uninstall the library, then try to install it again.
