VGAM can be downloaded from CRAN. Alternatively, it can be downloaded below.
For Windows and Linux/Unix, the easiest way to install VGAM is to run R, and type
install.packages("VGAM", repos = "http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~yee")
To obtain a local library in Linux/Unix, type something such as
install.packages("VGAM", repos = "http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~yee",
lib = "/myhome/directory/myRlibs")
Then typing
library(VGAM)will load the package in. However, in Linux/Unix, first have a file called .Renviron in your home directory with the line
R_LIBS=/myhome/directory/myRlibsin it. Here, /myhome/directory/ specifies your home directory, e.g, something like /home/yee/.
