What is pak?
pak is a newer package installer for R designed to replace install.packages() with something faster and more reliable. It parallelizes downloads, caches packages locally so reinstalls are quicker, and gives clearer error messages when a dependency conflict occurs. Many R developers now use it as their default installer instead of base R's built-in function.
