Split from Why geom_col could not be found even we have ggplot2?

Hi,
I am trying to update my ggplot2 version from 2.1.0 to 2.2.0 to work with geom_col() but it's showing ggplot2 2.1.0 is the updated version. How to do that? Please reply

Hi, and welcome to community.rstudio.com! Have you attempted update.packages("ggplot2")?

Which package versions are reported as available for your system can depend on your version of R. It can also depend on whether your R and RStudio are configured to install packages from CRAN, or from a locally managed repository. To figure out what's going on, it would also be helpful to see the output of running the following commands:

sessionInfo()
getOption("repos")

(please copy and paste the output here, then select it and click the little </> button at the top of the posting box to format it properly).

Also, where exactly are you seeing this? (In a console message? In the window that appears when you click Update in the RStudio Packages pane?)

You are using Microsoft R open distribution with snapshotted CRAN. This means that all packages are frozen to the version that they were at 2016-11-01 (you can see it in the output of your getOption("repos") command).

However, Microsoft R has been updated since then and (from what I remember), it is already on par with GNU R (so both are at 3.5.1). If you want, you can either update your distribution of R altogether, or you can change the date of the snapshot to something more recent and update packages afterwards. One package that can help you with that is checkpoint.
