Installed Packages
R packages are built using SPACK optimized for the underlying CPU architecture or binary installs using Conda. Applications built by RC staff that are dependent on R use the SPACK built R packages.
The conda/spark module was built for use with Apache Spark and provides Python packages such as pyspark

A comprehensive list of packages is available in the RStudio singularity images. Click here to view the list and instructions for using them outside RStudio.
install.packages('packagename')
Alternatively, you can add install.packages('packagename') within your R script. There are other tools to install packages such as BiocManager, pacman, devtools and remotes.
By default, R will try to install packages locally to ${HOME/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library. If you wish to use a different directory, then you need to set R_LIBS variable to point to that directory.
If you get an error installing packages locally, then use the command
install.packages('packagename',lib=Sys.getenv("R_LIBS"))
