Hi: I don't know whether or not it's possible to install from a non-zipped folder, but the tikzDevice may be found at: http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/tikzDevice/

R CMD INSTALL myfolder from the command line. The package is still available in the Archive and on R-forge though; dunno what the story is with the CRAN version...
Thanks a lot Nijk [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I think it will come back again in the future. The maintainer is busy at the moment: https://github.com/Sharpie/RTikZDevice/commit/95069e0a1deeb8fb9db028bbb76f227ddfcdc559#commitcomment-1562437 For now, the easiest way to install it is probably via R-Forge: install.packages("tikzDevice", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org") Or just download the tarball from CRAN and R CMD INSTALL it.

Hello, many thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I did not mention that my os is Windows 7. I am sorry for that. Some feedback here?
Yes: R-forge seems to support the current release version of R only re.
binaries. If you want it for an old release of R, install from sources,
i.e.:
install.packages("tikzDevice", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org",
type="source")
Uwe Ligges
install.packages("tikzDevice", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
