R help - Sep 2024 - Loading multiple packages with install.packages()...

Hi folks:

Curious question. I've added Rcmdr to my setup (R 4.4.1). I would like
to add all of the plugins. Is there a way to get install.packages() to
gather up everything starting 'rcmdrplugin', or do I have to list each
package individually between the brackets?? ??

Regards...

If you can get a vector with all the package names (I do not know how to do
this) then you could do something like this;
# Function to check and install missing packages
install_if_missing <- function(pkg) {
  if (!require(pkg, character.only = TRUE)) {
    install.packages(pkg, dependencies = TRUE)
  }
  library(pkg, character.only = TRUE)
}
# List of required packages.
packages <- c("emmeans", "multcomp",
"sandwich", "multcompView", "ggplot2",
"stringr", "dplyr", "openxlsx", "tidyr")
# Check and install each package
lapply(packages, install_if_missing)


Regards,
Tim
