if (!require(install.load)){
install.packages("install.load")
}

install.load::install_load(packages)

This is the current script, I would like to now include the versions of each of the packages. Let me know if you have any ideas!

    There's nothing in that package that suggests it knows anything about package versions, nor in how to manage a local R library of packages that is version-specific. If you want to maintain specific versions (similar to python's `requirements.txt`), then look into the `renv` or `packrat` packages. BTW: if you're already doing `!require("install.load")`, why don't you just do the same for the rest of your packages? – r2evans Mar 05 '21 at 16:38
  • I have come to realize, that i need to work with those specific versions and thus, I need to mention the versions. My aim was that if I am able to make it easier for other user to also run, the script with similar versions. – Nikhil Kakdiya Mar 05 '21 at 16:43
  • I understand. Use `renv` or `packrat`. Neither base R (`install.packages`) nor the `install.load` package supports your use-case, whereas both of `renv` and `packrat` were *designed* for that use-case. – r2evans Mar 05 '21 at 16:45
