I just started an intership so i'm not working on my computer. I am trying to update BiocManager to the 3.20 version but without any success no matter what i do the version stays at 3.18 but i can't use it because i have the newest version of R.

I tried what they recommended but it didn't work


if (!require("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install(version = "3.20")

I don't know if anyone has had the same problem

interesting. it could be since this is not your installation that it was installed by an admin that you do not have access to perform this update? Since 3.20 is the default for R 4.4 you could also try just running BiocManager::install(); are there any prompts that occur after this? and what you have chosen?

Are you sure it stays at 3.18? As in the sessionInfo you did not load BiocManager so we cannot see the result of that? maybe reshare after doing a library(BiocManager)

Could you also share the results of running R.home() and .libPaths() ?
