Hi,
I have just started learning about "R" programming language. I tried to
connect it to SQL server using "RODBC". On trying to install packages in R
with the command
Eg., 'Install.Packages=="RODBC"', the zip file is not getting downloaded as
am not able to access to the webpage since am working in a restricted
environment.
I have some how managed to get the zip file, but I have no idea how to
install it into my system(Because on installing using "R Console", it
itself is getting unpacked and getting installed in a specific location)
Can I just install by unzipping and placing the file in some random
location and connect R with SQL or is there any procedure to install the
package?
Kindly help me install "R Packages" without the use of "R Console"(With the
use of zip file).
Thanks in advance..!!! 😄
Read the help for install.packages. Essentially it says to
(a) set repos=NULL
(b) set pkgs equal to the file path to the source of the package that
you wish to install
If, as is likely, you are using Windoze, then (I believe) there is a
point-and-click facility for installing packages "from local zip files".
cheers,
Rolf Turner
