| - | Packages can be installed in two ways: calling ''dinamica.package(...)'' from within the expression, or listing package names on the //packages// input port, one per line. The two differ in timing: ''dinamica.package(...)'' runs **during** the expression, so it can be called conditionally; the //packages// port always runs **before** the expression executes. Because ''dinamica.package(...)'' runs together with the script, it may fail if a package is already loaded in an incompatible version. | + | Packages can be installed in two ways: calling ''dinamica.package(...)'' from within the expression, or listing package names on the //packages// input port.
