Install Add-on Packages

Description

To install packages into the default library tree (which is rooted at ‘\$RHOME/library’), do R INSTALL pkgs.

To install into the library tree lib instead of the default one, use R INSTALL -l lib pkgs.

Both lib and the elements of pkgs may be absolute or relative path names.

Usage

R INSTALL [options] [-l lib] pkgs

Arguments

pkgs

A list with the path names of the packages to be installed.

lib

the path name of the R library tree to install to.

options

a list of options through which in particular the build process for help files can be controlled. If --no-docs is given, no help files are built. --no-text, --no-html, and --no-latex suppress creating the text, HTML, and LaTeX versions, respectively. The default is to build help files in all three versions.
