installr

a logical indicating whether a graphics menu should be used if available. If TRUE, and on Windows, it will use winDialog, otherwise it will use <a rd-options="utils" href="/link/menu?package=installr&version=0.21.3&to=utils" data-mini-rdoc="utils::menu">menu</a>.

Gives the user the option to download software from within R.

R is great for installing software.  Through the 'installr'
package you can automate the updating of R (on Windows, using updateR())
and install new software. Software installation is initiated through a
GUI (just run installr()), or through functions such as: install.Rtools(),
install.pandoc(), install.git(), and many more. The updateR() command
performs the following: finding the latest R version, downloading it,
running the installer, deleting the installation file, copy and updating
old packages to the new R installation.
