[Bio-Linux] Installing Plotrix in R (Danae Dodge)

[Steve Moss]

Dear Danae,

The following worked for me from within an R session:

install.packages("plotrix", dependencies=T)

If you need to do it from the command line, perhaps try download the
package first?

wget -c

> R CMD INSTALL plotrix_3.4-6.tgz

Kindest regards,

Steve Moss
