packageDetails

Shows detailed CRAN information for a package.

Search for R packages on CRAN directly from the R console, based on the packages' titles, short and long descriptions, or other fields. Combine multiple keywords with logical operators ('and', 'or'), view detailed information on any package and keep track of the latest package contributions to CRAN. If you don't want to search from the R console, use the comfortable R Studio add-in.
