A friend sent me along this great tutorial on webscraping The New York Times with R. I would really love to try it. However, the first step is to install a package called RJSONIO from source.

I know R reasonably well, but I have no idea how to install a package from source.

I'm running Mac OS X.

In addition, you can build the binary package using the --binary option.

R CMD build --binary RJSONIO_0.2-3.tar.gz
