title: 'pak: Another Approach to Package Installation'
version: 0.11.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.pak
abstract: The goal of 'pak' is to make package installation faster and more reliable.
  In particular, it performs all HTTP operations in parallel, so metadata resolution
  and package downloads are fast. Metadata and package files are cached on the local
  disk as well. 'pak' has a dependency solver, so it finds version conflicts before
  performing the installation. This version of 'pak' supports CRAN, 'Bioconductor'
  and 'GitHub' packages as well.
