安装软件包PloGO时出错

Question

When I download the zip file of package PloGo from this link , and try to install it on windows R v3.0.1, using the following command:

install.packages("PATH/FILENAME.zip", repos=NULL)

It returns the "No such file or directory" error, while the file directory is true.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Probablly you have not set the path correct. So the easiest way to do this will be using this piece of command.

install.packages(file.choose(), repos=NULL)

Answer 2

The R is looking for DESCRIPTION file inside the package but the package you downloaded contains another folder inside the first level folder (PloGO_2.0_RV3_0_1\\PloGO). Unzip the downloaded file and zip the PloGO folder inside it again as PloGO.zip. Use the newly zipped folder (PloGO.zip) as target to to install.
