For example in the help pages, the manuals, the FAQ, and some R News 
article in the R Help Desk.

Anyway, you simply want to say
    install.packages("lpSolve")
to get a copy installed from CRAN or
   install.packages("C:/Path/to/Zip/File/Package_Version.zip", repos = NULL)

to install a binary package you already got on your harddisk.
