Installing a package offline from GitHub

Question

I\'m trying to port some packages to an R installation on an offline (Windows) computer.

From CRAN (let\'s say data.table), the process: 1) download .zip

Answer 1

You can use install_local from devtools to install a Github package with the zip you've downloaded, e.g. :

library("devtools")
install_local(path = "data.table-master.zip")

But you'll have to install all dependancies first.
