Error installing tidytext Linode RStudio Server

I tried to install tidytext for RStudio server to Linode's cloud server with Debian 10. R-base version 3.6. Error message as given:

I found what caused it. The package "tidytext" was installed in "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library" whilst some packages in "~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6". The error message somehow was misleading. In order to work I add this line ".libPaths(c("~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6","/usr/local/lib/R/site-library"))" to initialise both libraries.
