package()
This is similar to install.packages()
, except it takes by
default the list of packages from .packages_to_install
in
SciViews:TempEnv
. That list is populated automatically by infructuous calls
to package()
, so that just a call to Install()
without arguments is
generally sufficient.
Install(pkgs = get_temp(".packages_to_install"), ..., ask = TRUE)
The list of packages to install (character vector). If missing,
the list is read from packages_to_install
, which is cleared on success.
Further arguments passed to install.packages()
.
If TRUE
and pkgs
is missing, ask first to install the
packages.
Returns TRUE
in case of success, FALSE
otherwise. The function is
invoked for its side-effect of installing R packages.
