Install R Packages
Let consider the installation of Knowledge Space Theory kst
package.
Renviron File First we create a file .Renviron in our home area
Add the line R_LIBS=/data/Rpackages/
to it.
This means that whenever you start R, the directory /data/Rpackages/
is added to the list of places to look for R packages and so:
**CommandLine Installation ** We just fire up an R shell and type:
install.packages(“kst”)
or you can explicitly pass installation path
install.packages(“kst”, lib=”/data/Rpackages/”) library(kst, lib.loc=”/data/Rpackage=s/”)
The installation can also be done using GUI of RStudio by selecting the option Tools->Install Packages
