Packages can be installed or updated using the
install.packages function, which will connect to a CRAN
repository on the Internet and download the package. If no repository
has already been specified, R will request one to use. You can
specify one using the options function. Your installed
packages will be updated using the update.packages
function, while packages can be removed using
remove.packages.
> options(repos="http://cran.us.r-project.org/") > install.packages("ellipse") # Installs the ellipse package from CRAN. > install.packages("H:/ellipse_2.0-14.zip", repos=NULL) > update.packages() > remove.packages([...]) |
You can identify the status of the packages you have installed in your R system with packageStatus. You will be asked to select a CRAN mirror from which to retrieve information about the available packages.
> packageStatus() --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done Number of installed packages: ok upgrade unavailable /usr/local/lib/R/site-library 12 10 0 /usr/lib/R/site-library 46 11 10 /usr/lib/R/library 24 2 0 Number of available packages (each package/bundle counted only once): installed not installed http://cran.au.r-project.org/src/contrib 89 494 |
If you then request a summary of the packageStatus you will get details about the packages, including, for example, those available from each of the local libraries, identifying those that have upgrades available.
