Thanks Gabor for your input. Here what I have done is that: 1. Copy 'MyPackage' folder (developed by package.skeleton) into 'C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.1\bin' (I found R.exe is there)
2. In the command prompt, I changed the working directory using "CD" command and run 'R CMD build MyPackage' 3. I have seen that a file named 'MyPackage_1.0.tar' has been created. Then I pasted that file in ''C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.1\bin' 4. Again run R CMD INSTALL MyPackage_1.0.tar.gz. However here I got some error saying: 'Error in Rd_info(db[[i]]) : Rd files must have a non-empty \title' In my Package, there are 2 user defined functions MyFunction1 & MyFunction2, 1st function just get the length of it's argument and 2nd function get the Range. I have modified the manual pages of those 2 functions as (just 1st few lines): \name{MyFunction1} \alias{MyFunction1} %- Also NEED an '\alias' for EACH other topic documented here. \title{ ~~(Title) This function try to get the length of it's arguments ~~ } \description{ ~~ (Description) This function try to get the length of it's arguments ~~ } \usage{ MyFunction1(x) } \name{MyFunction2} \alias{MyFunction2} %- Also NEED an '\alias' for EACH other topic documented here. \title{ ~~(Title) This function try to get the range of it's arguments ~~ } \description{ %% ~~ A concise (1-5 lines) description of what the function does. ~~ } \usage{ MyFunction2(x) } I understand there is something to do with the 'title' segments of any (or all) those 2 functions. However could not find what to do. Any point please? Actually I wanted to create .zip file as I am working in Vista. For that I have intalled R_tool as well. However I could not understand how I can use that. Any help will be highly appreciated.
