I'm running R (currently 4.4.1) on Linux Mint
> sessionInfo()
R version 4.4.1 (2024-06-14)
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Running under: Linux Mint 20.3
...truncated...
To install a new R package, is it better to use Linux Mint's pacakge
manager (e.g. synaptic, apt-get, or similar), or to install it within R
with install.packages("some_new_package")?
I've done both over the years (perhaps a mistake that I will some day
regret.)
Pros and cons of these two methods?
Thanks.
