Hi,
Is it possible run install.packages() using the stock R Mac binary in the
command line without it trying to load the tcl/tk interface to select a
mirror? I'd rather just use the text-based numerical selection for the
mirror and not have X11 start up each time I try to install a package
(which, in any case, is pointless if tcl/tk is not installed).
Yes. RTFM applies (and RT posting guide too: you are expressly asked
not to send HTML).
See ?select.list, and also ?chooseCRANmirror for how to select
mirrors. Look for what options(menu.graphics=FALSE) does.
Thanks
