Hi, I've downloaded the 'tree' package (as 'tree_1_0-2_tar.gz') and am trying to install it to use with R in Windows NT. And, to be blunt, I've got no idea what I'm doing. As far as I can tell, the FAQ refers to installing packages in Unix and isn't a great help to me - I was hoping someone could give me some basic instructions on how to proceed.

Check out the WINDOWS FAQ (which I think you'll find under the HTML documentation you got with your binaries: help.start()). You probably need the Windows version of the package (which will be a .zip file, not a tar.gz file) instead. Basically, R comes with an installer which you can use to install libraries (the same installer you used to install the package itself). I have often found it hard to get to the R-for-windows FAQ from the R home page; maybe it should be linked somewhere from the FAQ? (or maybe it is and I just missed it) On Tue, 15 May 2001 Michael.Livingstone at treasury.qld.gov.au wrote:> Hi, > > I've downloaded the 'tree' package (as 'tree_1_0-2_tar.gz') and am trying > to install it to use with R in Windows NT.

Dear Michael and Ben,
A convenient alternative is to use the install.packages function, which
requires that the wget utility is installed on your system and is on the
search path. You can download wget from
<http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/wget.zip> (as stated in the help
file
for install.packages).
Once this is done, all you need enter is install.packages("tree") --
it's
that simple if you're connected to the internet and you want to install the
package to the default library location.
I hope that this helps,
John
