[R-sig-Debian] r-cran-vars?

[Christopher David Desjardins]

You could use install.packages().  What I usually do is download the
tarball of interest from CRAN and as root run 

R CMD INSTALL foo.tar.gz

This will by default install to /usr/local/lib/R/site-library

Then you can call it in R with library(foo)

I believe you can specify where you want to install it to with the -l
option.  ?Install for more details.

Cheers,
Chris
