Greetings R community,
I am making my first package and have run into the need to use other packages.
I pass all the checks in the command prompt running Rcmd check package.name.
In the Description file I have included:
Depends: R (>= 2.13), plotrix
Repository: CRAN
Now I create the zip file for windows 7. I delete my plotrix package from my
library to create a setup where others might encounter when installing my
package (perhaps they don't have the package dependency plotrix installed). I
now install the zip file in my R library and try to load it in R generating the
following error:
> library(genTools)
Loading required package: plotrix
Error: package plotrix could not be loaded
In addition: Warning message:
In library(pkg, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE, lib.loc =
lib.loc) :
there is no package called plotrix
Now the question: How do I get my package to automatically download
dependencies from CRAN as other CRAN packages do when I install them to my
library for the first time?
