我想贡献一下我用的:

testin <- function(package){if (!package %in% installed.packages())    
install.packages(package)}
testin("packagename")

你可以使用require的返回值:

if(!require(somepackage)){
    install.packages("somepackage")
    library(somepackage)
}

我在安装后使用library，因为如果安装不成功或由于其他原因无法加载包，它将抛出异常。您可以使其更加健壮和可重用:

dynamic_require <- function(package){
  if(eval(parse(text=paste("require(",package,")")))) return(TRUE)
  
  install.packages(package)
  return(eval(parse(text=paste("require(",package,")"))))
}

此方法的缺点是必须以引号传递包名，而对于真正的require则不这样做。

是的。如果您有软件包列表，请将其与installed.packages()[，"Package"]的输出进行比较，然后安装缺少的软件包。就像这样:

list.of.packages <- c("ggplot2", "Rcpp")
new.packages <- list.of.packages[!(list.of.packages %in% installed.packages()[,"Package"])]
if(length(new.packages)) install.packages(new.packages)

否则:

如果您将代码放在包中并使它们成为依赖项，那么当您安装包时，它们将自动安装。

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);

今天，我偶然发现了rlang包提供的两个方便函数，即is_installed()和check_installed()。

从帮助页面(强调添加):

These functions check that packages are installed with minimal side effects. If installed, the packages will be loaded but not attached. is_installed() doesn't interact with the user. It simply returns TRUE or FALSE depending on whether the packages are installed. In interactive sessions, check_installed() asks the user whether to install missing packages. If the user accepts, the packages are installed [...]. If the session is non interactive or if the user chooses not to install the packages, the current evaluation is aborted.

interactive()
#> [1] FALSE
rlang::is_installed(c("dplyr"))
#> [1] TRUE
rlang::is_installed(c("foobarbaz"))
#> [1] FALSE
rlang::check_installed(c("dplyr"))
rlang::check_installed(c("foobarbaz"))
#> Error:
#> ! The package `foobarbaz` is required.

由reprex包在2022-03-25创建(v2.0.1)

达森·k和我有一个吃豆人包可以很好地做到这一点。包中的p_load函数执行此操作。第一行代码只是为了确保安装了pacman。

if (!require("pacman")) install.packages("pacman")
pacman::p_load(package1, package2, package_n)
