[R] R base packages

[Rich Calaway]

This will give you a list of the current base packages:

priority <- installed.packages()[,"Priority"]
names(priority)[priority %in% "base"]

Change "base" to "recommended" to see the current recommended packages.

The base packages are part of R, they are not available separately. If you try to install one, you'll see a warning such as the following:

2: package 'compiler' is a base package, and should not be updated
