install R packages for Labkey wonjong.moon  2008-03-02 15:13

I am trying to install R packages for Labkey.
I am an admin for Labkey, but not an server system admin.

I installed one package using R package local installation at a console;
R CMD INSTALL pixmap_0.4-7.tar.gz

I could use that library in the regular R window, but not in Labkey R script view.

I think the installed R packages are available only to me, because it's the local installation; I can install R packages in one of my folders. I can't install R packages in '~R/lib' because I don't have writing access to that folder.

Should the server system administrator install R packages (~R/lib) for Labkey?

Thanks.

Yes, in this case, if you do not have write access to the R LIB directory, then you will need to have the server system administrator install the R packages for you.
