Dear Madam/Sir, I am trying to understand how to install packages without internet and I have come to a dead end.
I choose polynom (Venables & Ripley) which I first successfully installed on a computer with internet. I found that the installed package comprises a void "polynom" folder and a "polynom_1.3-8.tar" folder which only contains a zipped container with the same name. I then donloaded the package successfully using download.packages(). I unzipped the .tar.gz downloaded package then successfully installed the unzipped polynom package using its path and repos=NULL in install.packages() on a computer without internet.. However, when I wrote "library(polynom)" on the computer without internet, R3.2.2 answers with an error "polynom is not a valid installed package". What am I doing wrong?
