Thanks, but that video avoids all the things that I found confusing. For example, I found it frustrating to develop a package locally and then use it in multiple directories. I realize that question did get answered, but I recalled having a lot more issues with that answer and didn’t want to follow up as I was confused about what I was confused about. I missed R’s install.packages("myPackage") and then being able to call library(myPackage) anywhere.
I’m not saying it’s PackageManager is broken or bad or anything like that. But my impression is that it’s much closer to how Python uses virtual environments which is a new concept to R users. When basic “how to’s”, like the video you linked, make no mention of this whatsoever, perhaps this is why some people find PackageManager confusing and others do not.
