Thanks you. Now, I can install and update some packages from local repos. I put all R packages (zip files, using W2K) in h:/myFolder/myRepository,
library(tools) write_PACKAGES("h:/myFolder/myRepository") options(repos=c(LocalR="file:///h:/myFolder/myRepository")) getOption("repos") install.packages(lib=.libPaths()[3], repos=NULL, contriburl="file:///h:/myFolder/myRepository") instead of install.packages(choose.files('',filters=Filters[c('zip','All'),]), .libPaths()[3], repos = NULL) where .libPaths()[3] my local library (added in Renviron.site) and update with update.packages(ask="graphics", repos=NULL, contriburl="file:///h:/myFolder/myRepository") Best, Muhammad Subianto Cited: - R News 5/1 - C:\Program Files\R\R-2.2.0\library\utils\html\update.packages.html On this day 17/11/2005 08:27 AM, Prof Brian Ripley wrote: > On Wed, 16 Nov 2005, P Ehlers wrote: > > >>This should work: >> >>update.packages(ask = "graphics", repos = NULL, >> contriburl = "file:///g:/myFolder/myRepository")) > > > Only if the so-called repository contains (only) binary builds under R > 2.2.x of packages for Windows. > > It would be better to set up the 'repository' correctly as a repository. > See my article in R-news 5/1 and the R-admin manual for the format of a > repository. > > >>-peter >> >>Muhammad Subianto wrote: >> >>>I try to update R packages via my local repository. >>>I put all R packages in g:/myFolder/myRepository, I do like > > > Are these source packages or binary packages or what? > > >>>>library(tools) >>>>write_PACKAGES("g:/myFolder/myRepository") >>>>options(repos=c(LocalR="file://g:/myFolder/myRepository")) >>>>getOption("repos") >>> >>> LocalR >>>"file://g:/myFolder/myRepository" > > > Your syntax is incorrect here: Peter has silently corrected it. > file:// syntax has an element for 'machine' followed by a third slash > (although 'machine' is not supported in R, so it should be empty). > > >>>>update.packages(ask = "graphics") >>> >>>Error in gzfile(file, "r") : unable to open connection >>>In addition: Warning message: >>>cannot open compressed file >>>':/myFolder/myRepository/bin/windows/contrib/2.2/PACKAGES' >>> >>> >>>>?update.packages >>> >>> >>>It produces these file in g:/myFolder/myRepository >>>PACKAGES >>>PACKAGES.gz >>> >>>Could I make this folder (bin/windows/contrib/2.2/)?
