I'm installing R desktop, but I can't install a library, the error is:
"Error in install.packages : unable to open file 'D:/Users/DianaR/Documents/R/win-library/4.1/file26c071692b9d/colorspace/cvdemulator/www/images/descimage.png': Permission denied."
How can this be resolved?
The error message is telling you that you don't have permission to open that particular file, which R is trying to access as your install this package.
- I think the most common solution to this is to be sure you're an administrator, and then install or upgrade your packages, with
install.package("PACKAGE_NAME")again. - Some folks report that software like antivirus may block R from accessing these files. If that's possible, tell your antivirus to let R and RStudio have access to the file system
Some more discussion and approaches to solve in on different systems here,
