Presumably the program 'cron' will be used to run your script.  If the
program is run as root, you will have to ask the admin of the server to
install the packages you need.  If you have a cron entry for your user
on the server, you can simply start R and install the packages in your
home directory with

install.packages(c("pkg1", "pkg2"))

Note that this could fail if your server is behind a firewall and unable
to access a CRAN mirror.
