Hello people! I just formatted my disk, and I have installed R 2.14 over. Now I am trying to restore my packages and all. I realized that tikzDevice, a crucial package for me is gone. Fortunately, I have kept my old, non-zipped, tikzDevice folder, but none of the commands I know seems to handle this [i.e. load() and install.packages()]. Thus the formulation is like this: how to install a package from a non-zipped folder Thanks a lot Nijk [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I think it will come back again in the future. The maintainer is busy
at the moment:
https://github.com/Sharpie/RTikZDevice/commit/95069e0a1deeb8fb9db028bbb76f227ddfcdc559#commitcomment-1562437
For now, the easiest way to install it is probably via R-Forge:
install.packages("tikzDevice",
repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
Or just download the tarball from CRAN and R CMD INSTALL it.
