Greetings,

I am trying to use install.packages  obtained from here
http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/utils/html/install.packages.html
My computer has these
OS: 64-bit blfs linux R2.15.1

#------------
A) I did the following:-

export DIR=/home/stats/R-2.15.0_runTEST190712A
export DEST=/home/stats/Rtester
cd $DEST

${DIR}/bin/R install.packages(MASS_7.3-17.tar.gz, ${DEST}, repos =
getOption("NULL"),
                  contriburl = contrib.url(NULL, type),
                  internal, available = NULL, destdir = ${DEST},
                  dependencies = NA, type = getOption("pkgType"),
                  configure.args = getOption("configure.args"),
                  configure.vars = getOption("configure.vars"),
                  clean = FALSE, Ncpus = getOption("2", 1L),
                  libs_only = FALSE, INSTALL_opts,--verbose)

and this is the result

stats [ ~ ]# export DIR=/home/stats/R-2.15.0_runTEST190712A
stats [ ~ ]# export DEST=/home/stats/Rtester
stats [ ~ ]# cd $DEST
stats [ ~/Rtester ]#
stats [ ~/Rtester ]# ${DIR}/bin/R install.packages(MASS_7.3-17.tar.gz,
${DEST}, repos = getOption("NULL"),
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
stats [ ~/Rtester ]#                  contriburl = contrib.url(NULL, type),
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
stats [ ~/Rtester ]#                  internal, available = NULL, destdir =
${DEST},
bash: internal,: command not found
stats [ ~/Rtester ]#                  dependencies = NA, type =
getOption("pkgType"),
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
stats [ ~/Rtester ]#                  configure.args =
getOption("configure.args"),
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
stats [ ~/Rtester ]#                  configure.vars =
getOption("configure.vars"),
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
stats [ ~/Rtester ]#                  clean = FALSE, Ncpus = getOption("2",
1L),
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
stats [ ~/Rtester ]#                  libs_only = FALSE, INSTALL_opts,--
verbose)


B)  I then did  it like so
export DIR=/home/stats/R-2.15.0_runTEST190712A
export DEST=/home/stats/Rtester
cd $DEST

${DIR}/bin/R install.packages(MASS_7.3-17.tar.gz, ${DEST}, repos =
getOption("NULL"),
contriburl = contrib.url(NULL, type),
method, available = NULL, destdir = ${DEST,
dependencies = NA, type = getOption("source"),
clean = FALSE, Ncpus = getOption("2", 1L),
libs_only = FALSE, INSTALL_opts, --verbose )

And this results:-

stats [ ~/Rtester ]# export DIR=/home/stats/R-2.15.0_runTEST190712A
stats [ ~/Rtester ]# export DEST=/home/stats/Rtester
stats [ ~/Rtester ]# cd $DEST
stats [ ~/Rtester ]#
stats [ ~/Rtester ]# ${DIR}/bin/R install.packages(MASS_7.3-17.tar.gz,
${DEST}, repos = getOption("NULL"),
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
stats [ ~/Rtester ]# contriburl = contrib.url(NULL, type),
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
stats [ ~/Rtester ]# method, available = NULL, destdir = ${DEST,

dependencies = NA, type = getOption("source"),
configure.args = getOption("configure.args"),
configure.vars = getOption("configure.vars"),
clean = FALSE, Ncpus = getOption("2", 1L),
libs_only = FALSE, INSTALL_opts, --verbose )


#-----------------------

advice would be appreciated



Please ask basic questions on R-help and do not misuse R-devel.

And following the posting guide of R-help, you had probably read thedocumentation and found that install.packages() is to be called in Rrather than on the shell of your operating system.


Best,
