title: R: how to download the zip binaries and all the dependencies of a list of packages for an offline installation on another machine?
body: <p>I am using <code>R 3.3.1</code> and the latest version of <code>R studio</code> on a computer behind a firewall. </p>
  
  <p>I would like to know how I can download all the <code>zip binaries</code> (not the sources, because I cannot compile them) for the packages I need (<code>dplyr</code>, <code>plm</code>, etc) <strong>AND their dependencies</strong> on my home computer, so that I can export them to the machine under firewall and just install them offline.</p>
  
  <p>How can I do that?
  Thanks!</p>
