Setting Mirrors and Repositories

Source: R/packages.R

setBiocMirror sets all Bioconductor repositories (software, data, annotation, etc.). so that they are directly available to install.packages. It differs from chooseBioCmirror in that it effectively enables the repositories.

setBiocMirror(
  url = "http://www.bioconductor.org",
  version = NULL,
  unique = TRUE
)

getBiocMirror()

getBiocRepos(url = "http://www.bioconductor.org", version = NULL)

setCRANMirror(url = CRAN, unique = TRUE)

Arguments

url

or Bioconductor mirror url
version

version number
unique

logical that indicate if duplicated urls or names should be removed.
