    Instructions on how to install a package in R

    I am trying to install a package in R called RMySQL, but the package comes in a .tar.gz file. I have only installed packages in R that self-install.

    How do I go about installing a .tar.gz file in R?

    Are you running on Windows or a mac? (possibly linux?)

    Screw it - I'm assuming you're using Windows. I'd suggest following along with this guide: (LINK)

    It says it's for 2.14 but it works with 2.15 as well if you make the obvious modifications.

    Ok then follow that guide I linked to in the previous post. It's easy enough to install a package from a .tar.gz file but that's not going to solve your problems with RMySQL.
