Install package without internet: error in install.packages: no such file or directory

Question

I\'m trying to install the readr package in R on a laptop without internet connection using the install.packages(\"C:/Users/MVC/Desktop/readr-master.zip\", repos=NULL)

Answer 1

This package is available as tar.gz or .zip file from cran download it to your directory.

https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/readr/index.html and this should work. It worked for me

    install.packages("C:/Program Files/R/R-3.3.0/library/readr_0.2.2.zip",
    repos = NULL, type="source")

Please make sure that the path is correct.
