Hello,
I am unable to install shiny package in RStudio.
I type in the following in the console...
install.packages("shiny")
...and get the following error.
Error in install.packages : cannot open file 'C:/Users/Mustafa/Documents/R/win-library/4.0/file249048343b79/BH/include/boost/geometry/util/readme.txt': Permission denied
I am completely new to using RStudio and not sure if I am doing something wrong. Any direction is appreciated.
Sometimes this is observed when using cluster computing facilities or computers owned by your workplace - are either of those your case? Usually you don't have write permissions. If using a cluster, you could ask the admin to install it for you. If it's your work computer, ask for administrative/write privileges.
You could also try install R/RStudio as administrator.
Hi,
thank you so much for your response.
I do use my personal laptop and I do have admin access; however, not sure I get this message. Gladly I have another laptop and it worked on that so I think I was able to get through this week and submit my assignment.
Thanks again.
Mustafa
