Interactive R sessions can for instance be used to install additional R packages locally, or to check which R packages are centrally installed. The list of already installed packages can be displayed with the following R command in an interactive session:

installed.packages()

If the package that you would like to use is not yet installed, then you can either install it locally or contact cluster support.
