TIBCO Spotfire FAQ

Installing PKGUTILS and CSAN packages in TIBCO Spotfire S+ without internet access

If your machine does not have internet access (or if a firewall is preventing access) you can download the install files for the pkgutils package from a machine that has internet access by going to the following URL appropriate for your S+ version and OS:

S+ 8.0.4 for Windows (32-bit):  http://csan.insightful.com/binary/lib/pkgutils_WIN386.zip  

S+ 8.0.4 for Solaris (32-bit):  http://csan.insightful.com/binary/lib/pkgutils_SUNOS5_SPARC.tar.gz

S+ 8.0.4 for Linux (32-bit):  http://csan.insightful.com/binary/lib/pkgutils_LINUX.tar.gz

S+ 8.0.4 for Linux (64-bit):  http://csan.insightful.com/binary/lib/pkgutils_LINUX_64.tar.gz

 

S+ 8.1.1 for Windows (32-bit):  http://spotfire.tibco.com/csan/binary/lib/pkgutils_forSplus8.1.1_WIN386.zip

S+ 8.1.1 for Solaris (32-bit): http://spotfire.tibco.com/csan/binary/lib/pkgutils_forSplus8.1.1_SUNOS5_SPARC.tar.gz

S+ 8.1.1 for Linux (32-bit): http://spotfire.tibco.com/csan/binary/lib/pkgutils_forSplus8.1.1_LINUX.tar.gz

S+ 8.1.1 for Linux (64-bit): http://spotfire.tibco.com/csan/binary/lib/pkgutils_forSplus8.1.1_LINUX_64.tar.gz

 

Note: If you do not know your specific version of S+, please run the following command in your S+ session:

> version

 

Once this file is downloaded and transferred to your machine, simply unzip the file into SHOME\library, where "SHOME" is the directory path to your S+ installation. 

(Note: These steps replace running the install.pkgutils() function.)

 

Since you do not have internet access you will need to do the following to install packages.  You can download the package files directly from the CSAN website (http://spotfire.tibco.com/csan).  You can then use the install.packages() function to install the package zip file you downloaded by setting the "pkgs" argument to the full path to the downloaded file, and by setting "repos=NULL".  For example, the accuracy_1.23-2.zip file was downloaded to the C:\Temp folder on a machine.  To install this package, call the following commands in S+:

> library(pkgutils)

> install.packages(pkgs="C:\\Temp\\accuracy_1.23-2.zip", repos=NULL)

Now, you can load the package by calling:

> library(accuracy)

Once you have installed the pkgutils library loaded, you can open the help file for install.packages() for more information on the function:

> ?install.packages
