Hello, I have to create help files on R. I used the "package.skeleton" function which allowed to me to create a personal package with my list of functions. But I don't understand what I have to install to use these. That needs the tools to build packages from source to be installed. I will need the files in the R binary Windows distribution for installing source packages to be installed. But what are these files ??

If during installation you leave "Source package installation files" checked, you'll get the basic tools. To get the full set, see the instructions in the readme.packages file in the R home directory.

When installing the binary distribution of R, you can select whether to install them or not. Just take a look what the Setup Wizard asks you to choose.
