Hello,
I have tried to install packages but I get the notification saying 'Unable to install packages because the default library (file location path in my c drive is written here) is not writeable.
How can I solve this.
Thank you
It is hard to tell, since your not providing the actual console output of the error message. But, in general terms, you could run R (or RStudio if you are using it) as "Administrator" or, you could set your default package library to a folder where you have write permissions.
You can change the default library folder by setting your R_LIBS_SITE environmental variable in a .Reviron or .Rprofile file. For example:
# In a .Renviron file you can set it by adding a line like this one with the desired location
R_LIBS_SITE="C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-4.1.2\\library"
