mycsg SASnR2 0110_Install an R package

Base R refers to the core functions and features that come pre-installed with R
While powerful and self-sufficient, Base R can be extended with packages to improve efficiency and readability
An R package is an extension of Base R that provides additional functions to enhance R's capabilities
Think of it as an add-on that simplifies or extends what R can do
- Functions: Predefined blocks of code that perform specific tasks
  e.g., filter() in dplyr, ggplot() in ggplot2
- Datasets: Built-in datasets that can be used for learning or testing
  e.g., iris, mtcars
- Documentation: Help files and snippets to explain how to use the functions and datasets
- DESCRIPTION file: Metadata about the package — title, version, dependencies, author, etc.
Below is the line of code that helps installing packages into our R environment
