[In case this is relevant!]
I have tgz files for all the packages [plus some other files] in /
Applications/tgz10.1 .
When I attempt to use the R Package Installer and select the tzg10.1
folder as the "Local Package Directory" the result that I get is
You are using the wrong menu item - that menu is for installing
*package directories* i.e. packages in unpacked form. For .tgz files
you want to use "Local binary package". But, please, note that
installing packages that way is only for very, very special cases -
normally you should use "CRAN (binaries)" instead because that takes
care of dependencies, downloading, installation etc.
Cheers,
Simon
