R help - Feb 2011 - Installation of packages

Hi,

 

I tried to install packages for R, but it did not work. I looked for a hint
on the R website, but could not find anything.

 

I tried the following commands:

 

install.packages("psych")

install.packages("QuantPsyc")

install.packages("car")

install.packages("Hmisc")

install.packages("foreign")

install.packages("Rcmdr")

 

The following appeared on my console:

 
> install.packages("psych")
Warnung in install.packages("psych") :

  ''lib = "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-212~1.1/library" ist nicht
schreibbar

Fehler in install.packages("psych") : kann keinee Pakete installieren
> install.packages("QuantPsyc")
Warnung in install.packages("QuantPsyc") :

  ''lib = "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-212~1.1/library" ist nicht
schreibbar

installieren
> install.packages("car")

What could be the reason for that, and what could I do?

 

I would be very grateful for a reply. Thank you very much in advance.

 

Regards

Katharina

Apparently You do not have permissions to write to the target directory.
More generally speaking: it seems You do not have permissions to install
software. Maybe You should contact Your system administrator and ask
him/her for help-
