I am unable to download and install R packages.
While installing a dialogue box pop up, station that use your personal library instead and when clicking yes, it is showing destination does not exist or found.

Hi,

I think you should more information to solve your problem.

  • which Packages
  • which Source (CRAN, Github , Bioconductor...)
  • which OS / R / Rstudio version
  • Error log

not sure, but I think you mentioned personal library, so it may be helpful to run with administrator access.

  1. Run Rstudio as admin
    check this, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45316742/run-r-as-administrator

  2. Install Rtools
    If you use R 4.0 , Rtools 40
