Checking if package installed without errors in R












2














Background to the problem



I have tried to install the robustlmm package in R, but while trying to install it the R session crashed. I followed the on-screen instructions and deleted the ‘/home/user/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4/00LOCK-robustlmm’ folder.



I then rebooted my computer and installed the package again in R. This time the R quit itself instead of giving me an error message that it crashed. When I booted up R again, I see that the package is listed among my installed packages, and I can run it.



The actual problem



Is there a way to check if a package in R has been installed correctly? That is, is there some checksum or similar thing for the package (I am not that computer-savvy so do excuse if the terminology is off), that can be compared to the repository in question? If so, how do I do it?



Edit



I uninstalled the package and installed it again. The same problem occured again.
