installation error if User file path contains an apostrophe

Using R on a work computer*, my user account name contains an apostrophe. This is messing up the installation of httr. My issue is similar to these two posts:

https://community.rstudio.com/t/trying-to-install-ggplot-2-and-i-keep-getting-this-error-error-unexpected-symbol-in-setwd-c-users-joshs/82061

Due to the security settings on the work computer I can't easily create a different user account.

So far I haven't had any other problems installing packages (e.g., dplyr installed fine). Any chance there's a simple work-around that can be included in httr?
