Hi, I am working with R on a Mac. I need to use a couple of packages that I found on the Web site. I install them using Packages and Data: Package Manager. I leave R and come back another time and the installed packages are not installed. So I do it again. Not a big deal, but is there anyway to make the installation permanent? I want to run R through a 3rd party data management software and since the installation is not permanent it can't do the analysis through the third party software. Thanks.

Mac specific questions are supposed to be directed to the RSIG-Mac mailing list. I can say that your description will almost certainly be insufficient, since you are clearly using the R.app GUI and (almost) all of us who have been doing so get permanent installation when we do so. I have not seen a prevous complaint about transient installations and I have read the list for several years now. So read the Posting Guide, construct a more explicit description of how you installed R, include sessionInfo() and .Libpaths() information and send to the correct list.
