title: How to install stringi from local file (ABSOLUTELY no Internet Access)
body: <p>I am working on a remote server using RStudio. This server has no access to the Internet. I would like to install the package &quot;stringi.&quot; I have looked at this s<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27553452/how-to-install-stringi-library-from-archive-and-install-the-local-icu52l-zip">tackoverflow article</a>, but whenever I use the command</p>
  <pre><code>install.packages(&quot;stringi_0.5-5.tar.gz&quot;, 
                   configure.vars=&quot;ICUDT_DIR=/my/directory/for/icudt.zip&quot;)
  </code></pre>
  <p>It simply tries to access the Internet, which it cannot do. Up until now I have been using <em>Tools -&gt; Install Packages -&gt; Install from Packaged Archive File</em>. However, due to this error, I can no longer use this method.</p>
  <p>How can I install this package?</p>
