## Packages
Many R packages are installed already via the system's package management and many more are available via the same track. This is the preferred way to install R packages, as it avoids duplicate installations per user, removes the need for manual package updates and helps that underlying libraries and packages are compatible with each other.
Many R packages are installed already via the system's package management and many more are available via the same track. This is the preferred way to install R packages, as it avoids duplicate installations per user, removes the need for manual package updates and helps that underlying libraries and packages are compatible with each other. Currently there are >3500 packages installed—check with `installed.packages()` for more details.
Of course you can still install packages via R's own functions (install.packages, devtools, …) if there is the need for it. Long term please drop a note to it-suppot@idiv.de so that we can install the package via the system.
