Message saying "would you like to use a private library instead?" when trying to install a package

Question

I'm trying to install a package in R called epiR and the console opens this dialog for me.

install.packages('epiR')

what do i do ?

Answer 1

Your system does not contain a personal library where all the packages will be saved. When a dialog appears asking if you’d like to use a personal library instead, click on yes.

Answer 2

This question appears if your user environment is restricted such as on a cooperate network. Opening [R] with administrative privileges will resolve the issue. 

So say no. 

On windows open [R] by right clicking and selecting "Run as Administrator"

If this situation is continued, do i have to selet "Run as Administrator" every time?

Hi, There,

As a shortcut, holding Shift + Ctrl while double-clicking the file will also start the program.

thanks for replying me :D.

But what i wanted to know is don't repeating again this situation.

Could you please  tell me how to solve this situation?

Hey, @There,

Yes, it's possible to configure an app to always run as an administrator to save some unnecessary steps. if you are using Windows 10 and to set a particular application to always run as an administrator, use these steps:

• Open Start.
• Search for the app that you want to run elevated.
• Right-click the top result, and select Open file location.
• Right-click the app shortcut and select Properties.
• Click on the Shortcut tab.
• Click the Advanced button.
• Check the Run as administrator option.
• Click the OK button.
• Click the Apply button.

And if you are using any other Windows then let me know if you face any other problem.

Hope this helps.
