similar to: R_LIBS_USER on Ubuntu 16.04

Hi An upgrade to R 3.4.1 on Ubuntu removed the default setting of R_LIBS_USER in /etc/R/Renviron. What's the rationale behind this? Thanks. Best regards Kirill

I have not intentionally set R_LIBS_USER. I looked for an Renviron.site file but did not see it in R/etc or my home directory. The strange part is that if I print Sud.getenv I see a value for R_LIBS_USER. However, this directory is not showing under libPaths. I though .libPaths should contain R_LIBS_USER. I also noticed that R related variables are not in the system or user variables because I

AFAIU, 'R CMD check --as-cran' tries to hide any site and user package libraries by setting R_LIBS_SITE and R_LIBS_USER. However, contrary to R_LIBS_SITE, it fails for R_LIBS_USER and the user's personal library is still available for test scripts. Should I revise my assumptions, or is that intentional? The short version. Shouldn't: $ R_LIBS_USER='' Rscript --vanilla -e

I'm not sure I follow what.the problem is. Are you trying to set R_LIBS_USER but R does not acknowledge it, or do you observe something in R that you didn't expect to be there and you are trying to figure out why that is / where that happens?

Hi Here's a warning for you. If you start R today and it can't find any packages in your home directory that it did find yesterday, don't faint. You'll see something like this: > library(data.table) Error in library(data.table) : there is no package called 'data.table' and your user home folder R packages will no longer appear in path: > .libPaths() [1]

I have a computer where R_LIBS_USER is not found in libPaths. This is for Windows (x64). I ran R from the command line, RGui and RStudio and I get the same results. I also ran R --vanilla and I still get the discrepancy. The only thing I found interesting was that I also ran SET from the command line and the "R related variables" (e.g., R_HOME; R_LIBS_USER) are not there. Therefore

I would appreciate ideas about MS Windows install issues. I'm at our stats summer camp and have been looking at a lot of Windows R installs and there are some wrinkles about R_LIBS_USER. On a clean Win7 or Win8 system, with R-3.0.1, we see the user library for packages defaulting to $HOME/R/win-library. I think that's awesome, the way it should be. Yea! But it does not appear that way

Martin, I am aware of --vanilla; I use it myself for some testing. In this case R_LIBS_USER was set externally (part of my login) and does not involve any of the R scripts. That means it is inherited by any subprocess. For example: tmt1495% R --vanilla --no-environ R version 3.3.1 (2016-06-21) -- "Bug in Your Hair" Copyright (C) 2016 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing

Hi, I see R by default installs packages in ~/R. I know I can change the default directory with R_LIBS_USER, but software shouldn't be polluting the home directory. For example both python and node install packages to ~/.local/lib, ruby to ~/.local/share. They don't install to for example ~/node. R should do the same: it should install packages to somewhere inside ~/.local by default.

dear dirk, i am following up on our thread on r-help-mailinglist. you advised me to bring it over here. when installing packages from within R, they usually go to a directory defined in R_LIBS_USER, which i have it set in .Renviron. when installing packages via sudo apt install r-cran-.., they go to /usr/lib/R/site-library. is there a possibility to have packages installed to the R_LIBS-USER

> Your best bet really to govern your .libPaths from your Rprofile.site and Renviron.site ... To do this for any version of R, one can add: R_LIBS_USER=~/.local/share/R/%p-library/%v to ~/.Renviron or the Renviron.site file. This automatically expands to the platform and R x.y version early on when R starts up, e.g. ~/.local/share/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.2. > rather than asking a

Hi, I have Debian Testing running on a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (2015, 3rd gen.). I would like to have a package library independent of the installed R version. Under Ubuntu, I used to have the following line in ~/.Renviron: R_LIBS=/usr/local/R/library:/usr/lib/R/site-library This worked fine and /usr/local/R/library showed up in .libPaths(). However, under Debian (with the same ~/.Renviron),

I want my local libraries to have priority over the system installed ones, which, as far as I can make out from help(".libPaths"), means they have to come first in that list (it doesn't actually_say_ so, but that seems to be the idea). We have R_LIBS_USER which looks made for specifying where I keep my own libraries. Unfortunately it comes last in .libPaths() [which appears to
