You initially need to create both local R and local R library directories if they do not already exist. At the Unix command prompt in your home directory, do this by typing:
> mkdir ~/.R ~/.R/libraryThen open the `.Renviron' file that resides in your home directory, creating it if necessary, and adding the line:
R_LIBS = "~/.R/library"using your preferred text editor (e.g. pico, VI, Emacs, etc.). These steps only need to be performed once. After starting R, install ReadMe by typing at the R command prompt, either:
> install.packages("VA", repos= "http://r.iq.harvard.edu", type="source") > install.packages("ReadMe", repos = "http://r.iq.harvard.edu", type="source")You can ignore warning messages.
Alternatively, you may download the Unix bundle `ReadMe_XX.tar.gz', available from http://r.iq.harvard.edu/src/contrib/, and place it in your home directory. Note that `XX' is the current version number. Then, at the Unix command line from your home directory, type
> R CMD INSTALL ReadMe_XX.tar.gzto install the package.
