How to install packages
There might be some packages missing in the R module we have installed or may be you need a different version than what we have. In that case you could install the packages yourself. For example, following is the procedure to install the package called XYZ by the user user1 on SAGA. Please Please remember to use your username instead of user1
Login to saga
Load the module
[user1@login-1.SAGA ~]$ module restore
[user1@login-1.SAGA ~]$ module load R/4.0.0-foss-2020a
[user1@login-1.SAGA ~]$ mkdir /cluster/home/user1/R
[user1@login-1.SAGA ~]$ R
Use the R prompt to install the package
#Set the location for the packages to be installed
> .libPaths("/cluster/home/user1/R")
#install the package
> install.packages("XYX", repo="cran.uib.no")
#Check if the package can be loaded
> library(XYZ)
How to use an installed package After installing, everytime the packages needed to be accessed The
.libPaths("/cluster/home/user1/R")setting should be done. When submitting R Script as a job, the.libPath("/cluster/home/user1/R")should be specified before calling the package.
