Hello! I recently downloaded R and RStudio to my windows laptop. I downloaded the correct version and made sure it was for windows and not mac. However, when I tried to open RStudio, a message saying " R_tempdir Fatal Error: Contains Space" would pop-up. The program would open as a blank screen and usually make the rest of my laptop stall until it was shut off. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the programs, however, the issue did not change. I checked my Microsoft username to make sure it did not "contain space" (as in spacebars) but it did not. I was hoping I would be able to get some help moving forward on how to get this fixed. Thank you for your help! Best, Kaitlyn Light [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I'm going to quote the tempdir() doc page: "By default, tmpdir will be the directory given by tempdir(). This will be a subdirectory of the per-session temporary directory found by the following rule when the R session is started. The environment variables TMPDIR, TMP and TEMP are checked in turn and the first found which points to a writable directory is used: if none succeeds the value of R_USER (see Rconsole) is used. If the path to the directory contains a space in any of the components, the path returned will use the shortnames version of the path." You need to define one of the environment variables listed above. For myself, I did something like TEMP=C:\Users\iris\AppData\Local\Temp On Thu., Sep. 22, 2022, 03:37 Kaitlyn Light, <kel022 at bucknell.edu> wrote:> Hello! > I recently downloaded R and RStudio to my windows laptop.
