install sp

Helper function that installs sp when missing, from a tarball.

install_sp(force = FALSE)

Arguments

force

A logical indicating whether the installation should be forced

Details

The "sp" package should be unloaded from the namespace when it is not needed anymore. Every function that uses "sp" should start with a call to this function. And end with a call to unloadNamespace("sp"). This is because the "sp" package is known to cause conflicts with other packages.
