2.4 Managing legacy installations

Previous patRoon versions (<2.3) could be installed via an installation script. This script is now deprecated and replaced by the previously discussed installation methods. If you used this script in the past, and would like to update patRoon, it is important to first disable or fully remove the legacy installation. This is easily accomplished by the patRoonInst package that was discussed before:

patRoonInst::toggleLegacy(FALSE) # disable legacy installation
patRoonInst::removeLegacy() # remove all files part of the legacy installation
patRoonInst::removeLegacy(restoreRProfile = TRUE) # as above, and remove any automatic changes that were made in ~/.Rprofile

NOTE Restart R afterwards to ensure all changes are in effect.

For more details, please refer to the reference manual (?patRoonInst::legacy).
