====================================================================
In preparation for fieldwork I wanted to replicate my R environment
as best I could on a laptop I had borrowed from the University.
Part of this involved installing packages.
To get a list of packages on my own laptop I ran:
packs <- installed.packages()
packs_names <- packs[,1]
Then I saved that as a .csv and emailed myself the file on the new
computer:
write.csv(packs_names, "names.csv")
On the new computer, I opened R, then opened the csv and installed
the packages.
