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.
