How do I install an R package from source?

If you have the file locally, then use install.packages() and set the repos=NULL:

install.packages(path_to_file, repos = NULL, type="source")

Where path_to_file would represent the full path and file name:

  • On Windows it will look something like this: "C:\\RJSONIO_0.2-3.tar.gz".
  • On UNIX it will look like this: "/home/blah/RJSONIO_0.2-3.tar.gz".
