        To install packages into the default library tree
        (which is rooted at `$R_HOME/library'), do `R INSTALL
        pkgs'.

        To install into the library tree `lib' instead of the
        default one, use `R INSTALL -l lib pkgs'.

   UUssaaggee::

        R INSTALL [options] [-l lib] pkgs

   AArrgguummeennttss::

       pkgs: A list with the path names of the packages to be
             installed.

        lib: the path name of the R library tree to install to.

    options: a list of options through which in particular the
             build process for help files can be controlled.
             If `--no-docs' is given, no help files are built.
             `--no-text', `--no-html', and `--no-latex' sup-
             press creating the text, HTML, and LaTeX versions,
             respectively.  The default is to build help files
             in all three versions.

   DDeettaaiillss::

        Both `lib' and the elements of `pkgs' may be absolute
        or relative path names. `pkgs' can also contain name of
        package archive files of the form `pkg_version.tar.gz'
        as obtained from CRAN, these are then extracted in a
        temporary directory.

        For checking (via the examples in the help files
        `man/*.Rd', use `R CMD check [-l lib] <pkg>', use `R
        CMD check --help' for more information.

   SSeeee AAllssoo::

        `REMOVE', and `library' for information on using sev-
        eral library trees and creating packages; `update.pack-
        ages' for automatic update of packages using the inter-
        net.
