[R-SIG-Finance] Ubuntu Installation

I'm upgrading from one version of Ubiubta (14) to 17.

On 14, I had a directory structure as follows:

/home/rvince/R/--i686-pc-linux-gnu-library
                         --Packages (which contains all my packages )
                          --Work (which contains all my scripts)


So when I invoke a commnd like:

R CMD BATCH /home/rvince/R/Work/ES50update.R R/Work/outfile.txt

it runs my script (ES50Update.R) properly.

I;ve moved the entire directory /home/rvince/R/ and all under it unto the
new Ubuntu install in my home directory again.

I've installed R-Base in Ububtu

When I invole the same command in the new Ubuntu install, my outfile.txt
shows the following. Clearly I've got something installed imporperly or
improperly configured:

Type 'demo()' for some demos, 'help()' for on-line help, or
'help.start()' for an HTML browser interface to help.
Type 'q()' to quit R.

> require(quantmod)
Loading required package: quantmod
Warning message:
In library(package, lib.loc = lib.loc, character.only = TRUE,
logical.return = TRUE,  :
  there is no package called ‘quantmod’
> library(plan)
Error in library(plan) : there is no package called ‘plan’
Execution halted


Thanks for looking at this. Ralph Vince
