Hello,

I wanted to share with a colleague a few R functions that I wrote. To this purpose, I created a small package on my machine (Unix) and emailed it to her. Now she is having troubles installing the package on her Windows machine. It seems that on her side, install.packages
looks for a "zip" file - while I have created a "tar.gz" file. I tried
to build the package with the --use-zip options but that didn't work.


Any suggestions?

TIA,
Giovanni

If the functions only consist of R-code, you can just send your colleague a text file with the function definitions.
Not elegant, but effective.

Well, without documentation and R CMD check, it's really not that elegant nor effective, in many cases.


It is possible to install source packages under Windows. Your colleague just has to learn how to do it and there is documentation that tells us how to do it (e.g. readme.packages).
