Problems with library instalations

[linako111]

Hello! I'm trying to install new libraries using your video and presentations. I'm on mac. I'm not sure how to get "within electron" area. I was trying to go to the R-Portable-Mac directory, tried to run R from there and also from the R-Portable-Mac/bin directory. New library installs ok, but when running my program, I first notice that R version is not the same as in R-Portable-Mac and then it says that package is not found...

I'm encountering the same issue, kind of. First, I can't start the portable R from the home folder of the repository.

~/t/electron-quick-start (master|✚2…) $ ./R-Portable-Mac/R
/Users/gregmacfarlane/tf/electron-quick-start
*** R_HOME_DIR ***
/Users/gregmacfarlane/tf/electron-quick-start
./R-Portable-Mac/R: line 258: /Users/gregmacfarlane/tf/electron-quick-start/etc/ldpaths: No such file or directory
~/t/electron-quick-start (master|✚2…) $ ./R-Portable-Mac/bin/R
/Users/gregmacfarlane/tf/electron-quick-start
*** R_HOME_DIR ***
/Users/gregmacfarlane/tf/electron-quick-start
./R-Portable-Mac/bin/R: line 258: /Users/gregmacfarlane/tf/electron-quick-start/etc/ldpaths: No such file or directory

When I navigate down to the executable, it seems to load my global .libPaths()

~/t/electron-quick-start (master|✚2…) $ cd R-Portable-Mac/bin/
~/t/e/R/bin (master|✚2) $ R

But in general, the portable R seems to be picking up my local R installation.

I had a similar issue at first but solved it by adding this at the start of my script:

 if(!require('pacman'))install.packages('pacman', repos = 'https://cran.ma.imperial.ac.uk/')
 pacman::p_load(shiny,shinydashboard,tidyverse) 

Make sure to define the repos accordingly.
