Hi,
Essentially we use the RStudio Pro version and R_LIBS_SITE works but in the open source version does not work, so when assigning a value to this variable it gets lost in the free version. Wondering if I have missed anything or it is simply not supported in the free version.
RStudio Free version: 1.3.1073
Executed as a normal user.

Stuff deleted...
Now from the RStudio Server Free console:
page(Sys.getenv())
R_LIBS_SITE = "", R_LIBS_USER = "~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.0",
From this you see the R_LIB_SITE Value is lost.
Here is the RStudio server startup script

Note:
So from above script you can see (yes the “R_LIBS_SITE” is explicitly exported in my start script):
R_LIBS_SITE:
/config/binaries/R/4.0.2/R_libraries
So in the RStudio free console this value is lost. Not the case with Pro as It worked as expected.
Question
Is there some kind of bug or is “R_LIBS_SITE” not supported in the free version of RStudio?
Any workaround? Thx
Thx
