When you install R from anaconda it usually doesn't work well while installing packages from CRAN, so you are limited to update packages using the Anaconda package manager.

Unless you have a good reason for using R through Anaconda, I would recommend you to use a regular stand alone installation instead, it would make things much easier for you.

Hi Andresrcs,

I appreciate your reply. I will install a regular R.
