Installation of all packages under Unix

Dear List-Members, does anyone know a simple way to automatically install all R packages on a unix system to the default library path? Not from inside R, it should rather work as a shell script - job at startup. Something like R cmd install -l pkgs ### where pkgs should mean all packages (is there an option to control overwriting?) Thanks a lot, N. Boehme

Hi, To get a lot of packages (not all), install the "ctv" package (Cran Task Views) and run: library(ctv) install.views(available.views()) This will install all the packages that are part of a Cran Task View, a sizeable amount. A question: why would you want to install all R pacakges. It is not very likely that you are going to use them all. cheers, Paul
