Optional: sudo chmod 777 /usr/local/lib/R/site-library so anyone can install packages.

RSTUDIO IN WINDOWS #
Install R first, then install R-Studio.
INSTALL PACKAGES 安裝各种包 #
Use type = "win.binary" or type="binary" to avoid compilation and dependency error in windows.
E.g., install the “bibliometrix” r package. install.packages( c("bibliometrix"), type="binary")
If “binary” not specified, select “no” when promoted:
install a specific version / an old version #
win.binary: #
# get the list of binary packages
wget https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/4.0/
# find the zip fileanme
grep -i pkg_name index.html
# download
wget https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/4.0/pkg_name_1.2.3.zip
# install
/path/to/R.exe CMD INSTALL pkg_name_1.2.3.zip # or in R: install.packages(packageurl_or_/path/to.zip, repos=NULL, type="win.binary")
source: #
Similar to above binary.
wget https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/
grep ...
wget ...tar.gz
/path/to/R.exe CMD INSTALL pkg_name_1.2.3.zip # or in R: install.packages(packageurl_or_.tar.gz, repos=NULL, type="source")
source repo #
require(devtools)
install_version("ggplot2", version = "0.9.1", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")
DEFAULT MIRROR #
To choose a mirror/package server:
Option 1: temporaily
chooseCRANmirror(graphics=FALSE, ind=1) # 1 = cloud
Option 2:
echo 'options(repos=structure(c(CRAN="https://cloud.r-project.org")))' >> ~/.Rprofile
Option 3 [nix]:
vim /etc/R/Rprofile.site
uncomment and modify “local()”:
local({r <- getOption("repos")
r["CRAN"] <- "https://cloud.r-project.org"
options(repos=r)})
CHECK #
install.packages(c('ggplot2'))
sessionInfo(package = NULL)
options(repr.plot.width=4, repr.plot.height=3)
t = c(1, 3, 6, 4, 9)
plot(t, col="blue")
FAQ #
Problem: package is build for <another_version>. Reason: the package (binary) is built by a newer R version and cannot run on an old R version. Solution: install a new R version, or downgrade the packege.
