[R] Loading multiple packages with install.packages()...

[Ebert,Timothy Aaron]

If you can get a vector with all the package names (I do not know how to do this) then you could do something like this;
# Function to check and install missing packages
install_if_missing <- function(pkg) {
  if (!require(pkg, character.only = TRUE)) {
    install.packages(pkg, dependencies = TRUE)
  }
  library(pkg, character.only = TRUE)
}
# List of required packages.
packages <- c("emmeans", "multcomp", "sandwich", "multcompView", "ggplot2", "stringr", "dplyr", "openxlsx", "tidyr")
# Check and install each package
lapply(packages, install_if_missing)


Regards,
Tim

Hi folks:

Curious question. I've added Rcmdr to my setup (R 4.4.1). I would like to add all of the plugins. Is there a way to get install.packages() to gather up everything starting 'rcmdrplugin', or do I have to list each package individually between the brackets?? 😕️

Regards...
