[R] instal tar.gz package on windows

[Sarah Goslee]

Normally on Windows you should install the Windows binary from the
*.zip file, not the source from the *.tar.gz file.

If you look at a CRAN page the available files are labeled that way.

You might also be interested in
?install.packages

There are further instructions available on your local CRAN mirror, including:

Installation of Packages

Please type help("INSTALL") or help("install.packages") in R for
information on how to install packages from this repository. The
manual R Installation and Administration (also contained in the R base
sources) explains the process in detail.

I have installed R 3.1.0 on my laptop but my main problem is to install all necessary packages so that I may be able to start using it for my analysis. It gives me error while trying to install them from downloaded files. And again it can connect to the internet to download them automatically. Can you please help me out on how to install the R packages. I am using a 32bit windows 7 ultimate operating system
