Dear all, I am trying to install a private package, with its dependencies. However, both
install.packages("sand_1.0.tar.gz", dependencies=TRUE, repos=NULL, type="source") and install.packages("sand_1.0.tar.gz", dependencies="Suggests", repos=NULL, type="source") fail to install suggested packages: > packageDescription("sand")$Suggests [1] "network, sna, ape, ergm, mixer, vioplot, ROCR, fdrtool, huge" Based on the docs, I got the (obviously wrong) impression, that it was possible to install suggested packages. From ?install.packages, dependencies argument: ‘TRUE’ means to use ‘c("Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo", "Suggests")’ for ‘pkgs’ and ‘c("Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo")’ for added dependencies: this installs all the packages needed to run ‘pkgs’, their examples, tests and vignettes (if the package author specified them correctly). > library(ergm) Error in library(ergm) : there is no package called ‘ergm’ > library(huge) Error in library(huge) : there is no package called ‘huge’ What am I doing wrong, and more importantly, what is the correct way to install _all_ dependencies of a package? Thanks, Best, Gabor ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
