[R] How to stop showing messages while loading package?

[Erik Iverson]

Simply read the ?library help page, where you'll find under Details:

      To suppress messages during the loading of packages use
      ‘suppressPackageStartupMessages’: this will suppress all messages
      from R itself but not necessarily all those from package authors.
