When you have found the version that you want, create a new conda environment with that version using the following syntax:
(base) -bash-4.2$ conda create -n r -c conda-forge -c r r=4.0
To use the version you want, you can activate your conda environment with the following syntax:
(base) -bash-4.2$ conda activate r (r) -bash-4.2$ R --version R version 4.0.2 (2020-06-22) -- "Taking Off Again" Copyright (C) 2020 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Platform: x86_64-conda_cos6-linux-gnu (64-bit) R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
