How to install custom version of the plyr package

I modified the plyr package and built it in R and and it resides on my local computer at

...Documents\R-3.1.2\library\plyr

Now I have another "computer B" that I want to use this modified version of plyr

How do I get this modified version of plyr on computer B?

I see a plyr.dll in the libs\x64 folder on my computer

...Documents\R-3.1.2\library\plyr\libs\x64

Do I just delete the current plyr package on computer B and place the the plyr.dll from my computer on computer B?

Thank you.

This is what I would do.

  1. Fork the plyr package on Github
  2. Apply your changes to your fork
  3. Use devtools::_install_github() to install the package on the machines

If the changes are interesting: submit a pull request to the original repository so that other can benefit from it.
