This mailing list is the wrong place to ask a BioC question. I do recommend asking a question when you finally do arrive at the correct forum ... the below information seems to suggest that something you did or something odd about your account privileges lead to that output but you haven't indicated what you did. https://www.bioconductor.org/help/support/ https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/GenomicRanges.html On August 17, 2019 7:56:35 AM PDT, Tewelde Tesfaye <ttesfayg at gmail.com> wrote:>Dear Sir/Madam >Greetings >Error message [ >install.packages("BiocManager") >Installing package into >?C:/Users/default.DESKTOP-DE6RR7L/Documents/R/win-library/3.6? >(as ?lib? is unspecified) >--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- >trying URL ' >https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.6/BiocManager_1.30.4.zip' >Content type 'application/zip' length 292998 bytes (286 KB) >downloaded 286 KB > >package ?BiocManager? successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked > >The downloaded binary packages are in > >C:\Users\default.DESKTOP-DE6RR7L\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpKSLUUH\downloaded_packages >> BiocManager::install("GenomicRanges") >Bioconductor version 3.9 (BiocManager 1.30.4), R 3.6.1 (2019-07-05) >Installing package(s) 'GenomicRanges' >trying URL ' >https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.9/bioc/bin/windows/contrib/3.6/GenomicRanges_1.36.0.zip >' >Content type 'application/zip' length 2135144 bytes (2.0 MB) >downloaded 2.0 MB > >package ?GenomicRanges? successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked > >The downloaded binary packages are in > >C:\Users\default.DESKTOP-DE6RR7L\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpKSLUUH\downloaded_packages >installation path not writeable, unable to update packages: boot, >foreign, >nlme ] > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > >______________________________________________ >R-help at r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see >https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help >PLEASE do read the posting guide >http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html >and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.-- Sent from my phone.

Looks like you do not have permissions to write to that directory, but it's not clear that this is a major problem. The updating of boot and foreign is not something that regular non BioC users would have usually needed.? Did you recently update your R installation? Library locations sometimes get changed when you do that.? If so, what happens when you execute: update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE) -- David.
