Hello, I am a beginner in using R so my question could seem very simple. I would like to download the package multiv to do multivariate data analysis. The package I download seems to be a file meant for UNIX and I am using a Window OS. How could I download and install correctly this file? Thanks a lot _________________________________________________________________ MSN Messenger : discutez en direct avec vos amis ! http://www.msn.fr/msger/default.asp

How could I download and install correctly this file?although i am not using R for windows, but there are binaries for windows available for multiv at: http://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/multiv.zip you may want to read the documentation about how to install pakages from http://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/doc/manuals/R-admin.pdf (chapter 5). depending on where you are physically, you may want to select another cran mirror for a list of mirrors see: http://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html hth, peter -- Peter von Rohr http://www.inf.ethz.ch/~vonrohr Institute of Scientific Computing vonrohr at inf.ethz.ch ETH-Zentrum, HRS H23 phone: +41 1 632 7473 CH - 8092 Zurich fax: +41 1 632 1374
If your system is set up appropriately, you should be able to use the menu "Packages -> Install Packages from Cran" to get a list of packages, then select the desired package and press OK. -Greg> -----Original Message----- > From: Peter von Rohr [mailto:vonrohr at inf.ethz.ch] > Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 6:57 AM > To: Vincent Stoliaroff > Cc: r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch > Subject: Re: [R] Downloading Package > > > Hello Vincent, > > > > I am a beginner in using R so my question could seem very > simple.

Thank you very much to you 3 I didn't know it was possible to download, update and load the package directly within R. It is pretty convenient... Eventhough my system was not correctly set up because I cannot open any url from R I finally succeed in installing the package after downloading it directly from http://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/multiv.zip and then installing it "from a local zip file" Thanks again.>From: "Warnes, Gregory R" <gregory_r_warnes at groton.pfizer.com> >To: "'Peter von Rohr'" <vonrohr at inf.ethz.ch>, Vincent Stoliaroff ><vsensae at hotmail.com> >CC: r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch >Subject: RE: [R] Downloading Package >Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2003 10:03:35 -0500 > >If your system is set up appropriately, you should be able to use the menu >"Packages -> Install Packages from Cran" to get a list of packages, then >select the desired package and press OK. > >-Greg > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Peter von Rohr [mailto:vonrohr at inf.ethz.ch] > > Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 6:57 AM > > To: Vincent Stoliaroff > > Cc: r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch > > Subject: Re: [R] Downloading Package > > > > > > Hello Vincent, > > > > > > I am a beginner in using R so my question could seem very > > simple.
