Note that install.packages requires "character vector of the names of packages whose current versions should be downloaded from the repositories" as stated in the help file.
Sarah, Ah, yes. I missed that.
If you aren't going to do it the way I did, then you need to read your text file into R and create that character vector there.
I tried to translate your MacOS R commands to my linux system but failed in my attempts. I'll create a one-line list of packages, demarked as strings, and read that into R as a vector.
