R Install and load packages from a specific location

I am using windows 7, I can't seem to find the solution to this very simple issue on the internet.



I get an error saying that cannot Install package to a location I don't know about (I:/R/win-library/3.5).



How can I change that so the packages are installed to a location I choose and so that it loads from that location?



I read about changing the environment variables in control panel, but R Studio is not listed.



Many thanks!






r package

  • Hi Paccioretti, I have not. Do I need to write .libpaths("new path location")?

You can change the directory were packages are installed (and searched) with .libPaths().
If you want to add a new directory you can run



.libPaths("new/directory")

  • Thank you so much, it works beautifully. I hope I can now create a folder in the same directory the file is and use that as the folder for packages.

I want to find a topological embedding $f : X rightarrow Y$ and $g: Y rightarrow X$, yet $X$ is not...

Image
0 0 $begingroup$ This is related to a problem of showing that none of the intervals $(0,1], (0,1), [0,1]$ are homeomorphic to another, since it's in the same problem block. I've tried using $f(x) = 1 - x , f(x) = 1/(x-1)$ between varying pairs of those intervals to no avail. Do I need a function as complicated as the topologist's sine to show this? general-topology connectedness share | cite | improve this question edited Dec 10 '18 at 3:46 user1101010 775 1 7 30 asked Sep 24 '13 at 23:15
