You must have found it yourself -- that's not one of the links I
gave you. Here is one more link:
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES.html

To install an R package make sure you are connected
to the net, fire up R and issue the R command:

   install.packages("VaR", dep = TRUE)

and to load it

  library(VaR)
  library(help = VaR)

The last command will tell you what is in it.
Goolging for:

  CRAN package VaR

can get you to an overview page.

Suggest you spend some time with the Introductory manual
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.pdf#search=%22introduction%20to%20R%22

and some of the contributed docs at:
http://cran.r-project.org/other-docs.html
