I need to install the version 0.1.40 of the DT package (https://github.com/rstudio/DT) on a Linux server which is not connected to internet. Thus I can't use the statement devtools::install_github('rstudio/DT').

Thus I need to get the DT_0.1.40.tar.gz file to install this development version of DT.

Where can I find the tar.gz file of the version 0.1.40 of DT ?

Thanks.

If you are fine with the version on CRAN, you can go to DT's page on CRAN to download the package tarball. There is a link beside the text "Package source:". Here's the link for linux.

However, it looks like you want the development version that is currently not the version found on CRAN. You can actually download the source from github as a tarball using this link:

https://github.com/rstudio/DT/archive/master.tar.gz

then just transfer it to your linux box and install the package from source.

install.packages("/path/to/master.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")
