installPackages: install packages with minimum count
In sos: Search Contributed R Packages, Sort by Package

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Ensure that the most important packages in x are installed. "Importance" here is defined in the description of the minCount argument below.

installPackages(x, minCount, ...)
## S3 method for class 'findFn'
installPackages(x, minCount, ...) 
## S3 method for class 'packageSum'
installPackages(x, minCount, 
              repos = getOption("repos"), ...)

`x`	either a character vector to be passed to `install.packages` or a `findFn` or a `packageSum` object
`minCount`	Controls how many of the packages identified in `x` to pass to `install.packages`. If `x` is a `findFn` or `packageSum` object, install every `x[, 'Package']` with `x[, 'Count']` >= `minCount`. By default, `minCount` = `sqrt(x[1, 'Count'])`.
`repos`	argument passed to `install.packages`
`...`	optional arguments passed to `install.packages`

Functions PackageSum2 and packageSum obtain some of the information displayed from installed packages. To get more information in those summaries, run installPackages on a findFn or packageSum object to install more of the packages found.

## 1.  findFn object
##
spl <- findFn("spline", maxPages = 2)
# check the code but do not install anything:
installPackages(spl, minCount=spl[1, 'Count']+1)

# default: install packages with 
# Count>=minCount
## Not run: 
installPackages(spl)

## End(Not run)

##
## 2.  packageSum object
##

splS <- packageSum(spl)
# check the code but do not install anything:
installPackages(splS, splS[1, 'Count']+1)

# install ALL packages
## Not run: 
installPackages(splS, 1)

## End(Not run)
