Unable to install the package

RustemLox commented 11 months ago

Dear developers,

I have trouble installing the package as the error is difficult to fix. I am using the 2023.03.0 Build 386. The error message is the following:

Can you please help with this issue? Thanks.

I managed to install it by updating my R version to the newest one.

This is a well-known R issue in Windows. The operating system does not grant write permissions to the library folder where R installs packages. Try removing R, delete the library folder related to the version of R you had on your PC, and only then install R again. When you install a new R version, R creates a new library folder and then the issue disappears.

The default path to the library folder should be as follows: C:/Users/${USERNAME}/AppData/Local/R/win-library/${version}$

where "{USERNAME}$ is the user name folder and ${version}$ is the R version main number. E.g. C:/Users/Massimo/AppData/Local/R/win-library/4.3
