localPackages {svMisc}R Documentation

Install and update packages from a local source easily under Windows

Description

Install and update packages from a local source like a CD-Rom. These packages must be windows binaries (.zip) and a 'package' file must describe them in the same directory as it is done on CRAN.

Usage

localPackages(basedir = "d:/R", url = paste("file:", basedir, "/bin/windows/contrib", sep = ""), ask.update = TRUE)

Arguments

basedir The base directory of the local installation files
url The whole path, or url, to use for installation. If provided, it overrides basedir
ask.update If ask.update is TRUE, the function also update old packages. Otherwise, it only installs new ones.

Value

This function returns nothing. It is invoked for its side effects.
