Hi- I''m a complete newbie trying to install R and the ''tree'' package on a linux box. I installed R successfully using an RPM for Redhat 6.2. I downloaded the tree*.gz file, ran tar, the fired up R. When I''m at the>prompt in R, and type ''R INSTALL /usr/apps/tree'' I get: ''Error: Syntaxerror'' I want tree to end up in the default directory so I did not specify any different paths. Is my syntax wrong? Thanks. ******************************************************************** Rob Schick Assistant Scientist/GIS Edgerton Research Lab New England Aquarium Central Wharf Boston, MA 02110-3399 Phone: 617.742.5198 Fax: 617.723.9705 rschick at neaq.org http://www.marinegis.org -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

Is my syntax wrong? Thanks.Correct syntax, wrong place: Try it at the shell prompt, eventually as root.

Is my syntax wrong? Thanks.Type R INSTALL ... at the Linux command prompt, not within R.
