To install new packages for R-4.2.2

You must source one of these files to install new packages for your R-4.2.2.

Check out a node with qrsh and then choose the correct file to source:

1
2

source /local/cluster/R-4.2.2/activate_R_install.csh
source /local/cluster/R-4.2.2/activate_R_install.sh

Use the .csh file for tcsh shell and the .sh file for bash.

Then, to test your environment:

1
2

R
install.packages('remotes')

Assuming the remotes package installs correctly, you should be good to go.

I recommend installing other packages using remotes::install_cran() (or the other associated install_* commands.

You should not need to source this file all of the time, and after the relevant packages have been installed, you should not need to source the file to run the R-4.2.2 version.
