Install R package on mac
I think installing a Windows binary package on Mac (or any other operating system) is probably not officially supported - so the package manager is not going to be too helpful here. In this case you're lucky though - WiSP does not contain any native code. All you need to do is unpack the wisp_1.2.6.zip archive (which OS X is apparently doing for you already) and put the wisp folder in your R library using the Finder. Worked for me anyway. Also, you should probably email the package authors and ask them to provide a source version of the package as well. HTH, Kjell

Hello all, I apologize in advance if this question has already been asked but I have not been able to find any helpful piece of information on the web regarding my problem. I need to run a package for wildlife population assessment called WiSP. The package is available for download from the web and comes in a .zip format. Not only does the archive automatically unzips itself after the download but I can't seem to grasp how to install such packages using the package manager. I am usually fairly good with computers, but have to admit that I don't understand all the options offered by the package manager.
From what I have read online, it seems that I need to convert this windows
binary package to a universal .tar.gz file, yet all the documentation I found is too complicated for me. Could anyone explain to me what the simplest way of doing that is or give me some hints on how to go about solving this issue ? Thanks so much in advance for you help, Phil [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
