如何在R中安装软件包

Question

I want to install package in R : nloptr , seriation , pbkrtest , NbClust , cluster , car , scales , fpc , mclust , apcluster , vegan to use it on my powerbi for k means clustering.

I already install R 3.3.1 in my windows. I open my R like this:

I already tried use two commands to install packages like this:

install.packages("D:/Skripsi/PowerBI-visuals-clustering-kmeans-master.zip', lib='C:/Program Files/R/R-3.3.1',repos = NULL)

install.packages.zip("D:/Skripsi/PowerBI-visuals-clustering-kmeans-master.zip", repos = NULL)

but I get an error

no function install.package.zip or no such file.

my package location : D:\\Skripsi\\PowerBI-visuals-clustering-kmeans-master

I want to use this package : https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-visuals-clustering-kmeans or do I have to install one by one and how to install package in R? Thank you

Answer 1

The repository on GitHub you link to is not in the valid R package structure and thus not installable as such. You are best downloading the files, extracting them locally and sourcing (using function source , see help("source") ) any R scripts you may want to use.

As for the rest, there is no function called install.packages.zip that would come with base R installation. When I install packages from local zip files (rarely, though), I use

install.packages("/path/to/zipfile.zip", repos = NULL) 

and it appears to work fine. As already said, this won't work for your "PowerBI-visuals-clustering-kmeans-master.zip".

To install the packages you mention, you should do something along the lines of

install.packages(c("nloptr", "seriation", "pbkrtest", "NbClust", "cluster", "car", "scales", "fpc", "mclust", "apcluster", "vegan"))

If it is a " normal " package:

install.packages("NAME_OF_YOUR_PACKAGE")

It it is a " bioconductor " package:

source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite(NAME_OF_YOUR_PACKAGE)
