Can't update ClusterProfiler to 4.12.6

Question

[Francois Piumi]

It seems that the new version of ClusterProfiler is 4.12.6 according to the GitHub page.

I ran this script :

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

But I'm still with the 4.6.2 version.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Version number appears to be different in different locations. v.4.14.3 seems to be the latest but this page shows different release version: https://guangchuangyu.github.io/software/clusterProfiler/

The most up-to-date and official version of the package is 4.14.3, see https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/clusterProfiler.html.

The latest version on GitHub is 4.15.1.001, see https://github.com/YuLab-SMU/clusterProfiler/blob/devel/DESCRIPTION

However, Bioconductor versions are tied to the underlying version of Bioconductor itself, so if for example you're still using Bioc 3.16 you would not be able to upgrade, given that you want to use BiocManager. If you want to pull directly from GitHub then use BiocManager::install(YuLab-SMU/clusterProfiler).
