Hello all,<br>
I've been trying to install the library Plotrix from R for awhile unsuccessfully. I first updated R (I'm using BioLinux on a USB) to see if Plotrix was included and then I set the R LIB environmental variable so I could do this:<br>
source("<a href="http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R" target="_blank">http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R</a>")<br>
<br>
biocLite("pkgname")<br>
<br>
?<br>
but with replacing it with the web address for Plotrix on the R website to download directly<br>
(this being the website that I went to:<br>
<a href="http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/plotrix/index.html" target="_blank">http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/plotrix/index.html</a><br>
So my command line is as follows:<br>
R CMD INSTALL /<a href="http://www.cran.r-project.org/web/packages/plotrix/plotrix_3.4-6.tar.gz" target="_blank">http://www.cran.r-project.org/web/packages/plotrix/plotrix_3.4-6.tar.gz</a><br>
<br>
But I keep getting a Warning message: invalid package followed by the url and an error telling me no package specified.<br>
So now I don't know how to download and install this package into R.<br>
Can anyone help?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Danae<br>
<br>
