I have an ubuntu image with R installed. I want to install a list of packages that does not come with R. eg. cluster, gplots, hacks, mapdata. etc. Over time this list may grow. Is there a config file that can tell R what and where to install additional packages? My goal is to store all R packages on a file server so that my clients can install them on there workstation. Any tips, advice, example commands, and scripts are greatly appreciated! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/automate-package-installation-tp3445938p3445938.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

If such a network server is available for the clients, why not make a) a network installation of R b) provide the relevant packages in a library on the network, so that all clients can use the same library of R packages. You only need to maintain that library. See "R Installation and Administration" on hwo to manage libraries of R packages. Uwe Ligges
