Dear All, I am preparing an R-package and I would like to ask how do I make it check whether dependencies (i.e. other packages) are already installed in a machine and if they are not installed to automatically install them during its installation. Thanks, Polychronis Polychronis Kostoulas

R-package-devel is the better venue, as r-packages is only for announcements.

The right place to ask is the package-dev mailing list. It is possible to list dependencies and then users can specify dependencies=TRUE in their call to install.packages. I also know that there have been super-packages that do install multiple other packages. When you issue the command `library(tidyverse)` you get a boatload of packages loaded at once, so why not look at that example. It has R code in several modules. The other mechanism I've seen is to construct a github page that has the needed code.

Rhelp is also a plain text mailing list.
