Hi list,
I have not been successful in finding out from the available
documentation how under Unix/Solaris to update a packages which I
downloaded from the net as the original *.tar.gz and stored in a local
file, say
(1) home/woodstock/hoffmacw/R/Sources/pack.tar.gz
A lot of installed libraries are residing in
(2) home/woodstock/hoffmacw/R/library/
but it is unclear to me, how to proceed, since in "Usage"
update.packages(lib.loc = NULL, repos = CRAN,
it says
"lib.loc character vector describing the location of R library trees to
search through (and update packages therein)."
CRAN packages are residing in
(3) usr/local/lib/R/library/
How should I state my wish for "pack" to reside in (3) which I cannot
manipulate directly (I am not an administrator).
Is
>
install.packages("/home/woodstock/hoffmacw/R/Sources/pack.tar.gz",repos=NULL)
correct?
Thanks for pointers and help
Christian
