There's a handy script to automate the update process that I came across some time ago at https://bridgewater.wordpress.com/2010/12/21/my-favorite-r-packages-installed-with-one-command/
When you run the script, it will automatically install the libraries that you set up in the script. When you run it, it will install into the first location in .libPaths(). If you want packages installed in ~/Library/R..., then you need to check the "Default Library Paths" option in R-->Preferences-->Startup. Alternatively, you could supply the lib= argument to the install.packages() call. With a little extra code, you could even define the install location for each package individually. Here's a shortened version: # Essential R packages: 2011-01-02 # Originally from: R packages I use commonly: 12/21/2010 twitter: drbridgewater # Jeff S. A.
