The symptom I can see is that when install.packages("dplyr") is run from one mac, it installs almost instantly, whereas the exact same command from another macbook takes ~5 minutes to install, and has a lot (100s of lines) of R console output

I presume the latter is compiling? Where can I find (and change) this default setting?

Here is a sample of the console output

  • In some OS's (Windows, OS X) there are binary versions of the package on CRAN. If not it will have to compile the source. – Rui Barradas Dec 09 '19 at 22:19
  • There is a section `Binary packages` in the help page for `install.packages`. It explains the steps the function takes before going one way or the other. – Rui Barradas Dec 09 '19 at 22:35
