How do I install an archived version of a package - in this case
Geneland 3.1.5 in windows?
The archived versions are available on CRAN and tar.gz. I can downland
this, but then the only option to install a local copy is
> utils:::menuInstallLocal()
or install from local zip file in the console packages menu, this does
not work wither with the downlaoded tar.gz, or if I unzip it and save
all its contents as Genland_3.1.5.zip in the R/bin direcotry.
What do I need to do?
The archived versions are source packages. So you need to install the
tools to build from source (see the R Admin manual, or
http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/), then simply do
install.packages("<foo>.tar.gz", type="source", repos=NULL)
from within R, or
Rcmd INSTALL <foo>.tar.gz
from outside.
