# List of packages for session
.packages = c("ggplot2", "plyr", "rms")

# Install CRAN packages (if not already installed)
.inst <- .packages %in% installed.packages()
if(length(.packages[!.inst]) > 0) install.packages(.packages[!.inst])

# Load packages into session 
lapply(.packages, require, character.only=TRUE)

我使用以下函数安装包，如果require("<包>")退出包未发现错误。它将查询- CRAN和Bioconductor存储库，以查找丢失的包。

改编自约书亚·威利的原著， http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Install-package-automatically-if-not-there-td2267532.html

install.packages.auto <- function(x) { 
  x <- as.character(substitute(x)) 
  if(isTRUE(x %in% .packages(all.available=TRUE))) { 
    eval(parse(text = sprintf("require(\"%s\")", x)))
  } else { 
    #update.packages(ask= FALSE) #update installed packages.
    eval(parse(text = sprintf("install.packages(\"%s\", dependencies = TRUE)", x)))
  }
  if(isTRUE(x %in% .packages(all.available=TRUE))) { 
    eval(parse(text = sprintf("require(\"%s\")", x)))
  } else {
    source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
    #biocLite(character(), ask=FALSE) #update installed packages.
    eval(parse(text = sprintf("biocLite(\"%s\")", x)))
    eval(parse(text = sprintf("require(\"%s\")", x)))
  }
}

例子:

install.packages.auto(qvalue) # from bioconductor
install.packages.auto(rNMF) # from CRAN

注:更新。packages(ask =FALSE) & biocLite(character()， ask=FALSE)将更新系统上所有已安装的软件包。这可能需要很长时间，并将其视为一个完整的R升级，这可能并不总是有保障的!

关于你的主要目标“安装他们还没有的库”。并且不管使用" installed .packages() "”。下面的函数掩码了require的原始函数。它尝试加载和检查命名包“x”，如果它没有安装，直接安装它，包括依赖项;最后正常加载。将函数名从'require'重命名为'library'以保持完整性。唯一的限制是包名应该加引号。

require <- function(x) { 
  if (!base::require(x, character.only = TRUE)) {
  install.packages(x, dep = TRUE) ; 
  base::require(x, character.only = TRUE)
  } 
}

所以你可以加载和安装包的旧时尚的方式R。 要求(“ggplot2”) 要求(“Rcpp”)

虽然Shane的回答很好，但对于我的一个项目，我需要自动删除输出消息、警告和安装包。我终于设法得到这个脚本:

InstalledPackage <- function(package) 
{
    available <- suppressMessages(suppressWarnings(sapply(package, require, quietly = TRUE, character.only = TRUE, warn.conflicts = FALSE)))
    missing <- package[!available]
    if (length(missing) > 0) return(FALSE)
    return(TRUE)
}

CRANChoosen <- function()
{
    return(getOption("repos")["CRAN"] != "@CRAN@")
}

UsePackage <- function(package, defaultCRANmirror = "http://cran.at.r-project.org") 
{
    if(!InstalledPackage(package))
    {
        if(!CRANChoosen())
        {       
            chooseCRANmirror()
            if(!CRANChoosen())
            {
                options(repos = c(CRAN = defaultCRANmirror))
            }
        }

        suppressMessages(suppressWarnings(install.packages(package)))
        if(!InstalledPackage(package)) return(FALSE)
    }
    return(TRUE)
}

Use:

libraries <- c("ReadImages", "ggplot2")
for(library in libraries) 
{ 
    if(!UsePackage(library))
    {
        stop("Error!", library)
    }
}

  packages_installed <- function(pkg_list){
        pkgs <- unlist(pkg_list)
        req <- unlist(lapply(pkgs, require, character.only = TRUE))
        not_installed <- pkgs[req == FALSE]
        lapply(not_installed, install.packages, 
               repos = "http://cran.r-project.org")# add lib.loc if needed
        lapply(pkgs, library, character.only = TRUE)
}

我已经实现了无声安装和加载所需R包的功能。希望也许会有所帮助。代码如下:

# Function to Install and Load R Packages
Install_And_Load <- function(Required_Packages)
{
    Remaining_Packages <- Required_Packages[!(Required_Packages %in% installed.packages()[,"Package"])];

    if(length(Remaining_Packages)) 
    {
        install.packages(Remaining_Packages);
    }
    for(package_name in Required_Packages)
    {
        library(package_name,character.only=TRUE,quietly=TRUE);
    }
}

# Specify the list of required packages to be installed and load    
Required_Packages=c("ggplot2", "Rcpp");

# Call the Function
Install_And_Load(Required_Packages);
