下面这个简单的函数非常好用:

  usePackage<-function(p){
      # load a package if installed, else load after installation.
      # Args:
      #   p: package name in quotes

      if (!is.element(p, installed.packages()[,1])){
        print(paste('Package:',p,'Not found, Installing Now...'))
        install.packages(p, dep = TRUE)}
      print(paste('Loading Package :',p))
      require(p, character.only = TRUE)  
    }

(不是我的，一段时间前在网上找到了这个，从那时起就一直在使用它。不确定原始来源)

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)

下面是我的代码:

packages <- c("dplyr", "gridBase", "gridExtra")
package_loader <- function(x){
    for (i in 1:length(x)){
        if (!identical((x[i], installed.packages()[x[i],1])){
            install.packages(x[i], dep = TRUE)
        } else {
            require(x[i], character.only = TRUE)
        }
    }
}
package_loader(packages)

站在@MichaelChirico的肩膀上:

stopifnot(3 == length(find.package(c('foo', 'bar', 'baz'))))

让我分享一点疯狂:

c("ggplot2","ggsci", "hrbrthemes", "gghighlight", "dplyr") %>%  # What will you need to load for this script?
  (function (x) ifelse(t =!(x %in% installed.packages()), 
    install.packages(x[t]),
    lapply(x, require))) 

此解决方案将获取包名的字符向量并尝试加载它们，或者在加载失败时安装它们。它依赖于require的返回行为来做到这一点，因为…

Require返回(不可见的)一个逻辑，指示所需的包是否可用

因此，我们可以简单地查看是否能够加载所需的包，如果不能，则使用依赖项安装它。所以给定一个你想要加载的包的字符向量…

foo <- function(x){
  for( i in x ){
    #  require returns TRUE invisibly if it was able to load package
    if( ! require( i , character.only = TRUE ) ){
      #  If package was not able to be loaded then re-install
      install.packages( i , dependencies = TRUE )
      #  Load package after installing
      require( i , character.only = TRUE )
    }
  }
}

#  Then try/install packages...
foo( c("ggplot2" , "reshape2" , "data.table" ) )
