I'm taking a course on R programming and it requires me to install "devtools" package. I was using Anaconda to learn Python and used the same to use R. But I wasn't able to install the package and came to know that Anaconda only supports certain versions of RStudio. So, now I'll have to download R and RStudio separately. My system info -

Windows edition - Windows 7 professional

System type - 32-bit OS

Can someone help me with the version of R and RStudio I should download now?

Thanks in Advance!

The last version of RStudio to support a 32-bit OS was 1.1.463. You can download it from here (scroll down until you find it).

You should be able to install the latest release of R from here, just make sure that you install the 32-bit version.

From experience, R/Rstudio 1.1.463 works OK on 32-bit computers, but you might run into som troubles, both with R itself and some packages that rely on newer versions of RStudio. You might find some help here should you experience troubles with R itself.

I hope this helps. But in any case, your best option would be to upgrade your system if possible.

As mentioned in jpiversen answer, your specs seem a bit outdated.

But RStudio luckily also has a cloud version, so you don't need to install anything.

You might want to look into that.
