# The R installation manager

## Features

### Multiple R versions, side by side

* Install as many R versions as you like, and switch the default for the

terminal, RStudio and Positron.

* Select versions by symbolic name: `release`, `devel`, `next`, `oldrel`,

or by exact version.

* Run several versions _at the same time_ via quick links: `R-4.5` or

`R-4.5.1` starts the matching R.

* List the versions you have installed, and the versions available to

install.

* On arm64 macs and Windows, choose between x86_64 and arm64 builds of R,

or install both.

### Cross-platform and self-contained

* Works on macOS, Windows and Linux, with native builds for many Linux

distributions and portable builds for any glibc- or musl-based Linux.

* A single standalone tool with no system requirements.

* Two [installation modes](https://rig.r-lib.org/admin-vs-user-mode.html):

the default *admin mode* installs R system-wide, while *user mode*

installs everything into your home directory, with no `sudo` or
