There are two ways in which you can overcome this:

First Way: install.packages(“swirl”)

Installing package into ‘C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.1/library’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified) Warning in install.packages("swirl"): 'lib = “C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.1/library”' is not writable

Would you like to use a personal library instead?  (y/n) y

Would you like to create a personal library ~/R/…… to install packages into?  (y/n) y

So, during the installation answer both questions with 'y'. And this will install the package without any issues.

Second Way:

You can add yourself to the group called 'staff'

sudo usermod -a -G staff username

Replace username with your login username, then logoff and again login.

This error usually comes when you don't install all the dependencies. To avoid this install the package with all its dependencies. Let me know if even after this you get the same error.

install.packages("swirl", dependencies=TRUE) library(swirl)
