I have previously read "R Installation and Administration". I read it again. It does not help me The relevant paragraph is below. But I need lower level instructions. Where can I find them.
R CMD INSTALL works in Windows to install source packages if you have the source-code package files (option Source Package Installation Files in the installer) and toolset (see The Windows toolset<file:///C:/Program%20Files/R/R-2.9.1/doc/manual/R-admin.html#The-Windows-toolset>) installed. Installation of binary packages must be done by install.packages . R CMD INSTALL --help will tell you the current options under Windows (which differ from those on a Unix-alike): in particular there is a choice of the types of documentation to be installed.
