install: Install Packages
In slopp/renv: Project Environments for R

Install one or more R packages.

1	install(packages, library = NULL, project = NULL)

`packages`	A character vector of R packages to install. Required package dependencies (`Depends`, `Imports`, `LinkingTo`) will be installed as required.
`library`	The library from which packages should be installed. When `NULL`, the active library (that is, the first entry reported in `.libPaths()`) is used instead.
`project`	The project directory. If `NULL`, then the active project will be used. If no project is currently active, then the current working directory is used instead.

install() uses the same machinery as restore() when installing packages. In particular, this means that the local cache of package installations is used when possible. This helps to avoid re-downloading packages that have already been downloaded before, and re-compiling packages from source when a binary copy of that package is already available.

Note that this interface is subject to change – the goal is to hook into separate package installation backends in the future.
