hii everyone!
Recently i have started working with R and it would be nice if anyone can
help me with this.
I am vista user (32 bit). I wanted to install package in my parent directory
i.e .Library. whenever I try to install nnet (package) it is showing me the
following error:
> install.packages("C:\\Users\\nn223\\Downloads\\nnet_7.3-1.zip",lib=.Library)
Warning in install.packages("C:\\Users\\nn223\\Downloads\\nnet_7.3-1.zip",
:
'lib = "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-211~1.1/library"' is not writable
That means just what it says: you're trying to install the package into
a directory, but the administrator of your machine (you?) hasn't given R
permission to make changes to that directory. If you are the
administrator, you might get that to work using "Run as administrator",
which is an option in Windows when you right click on the R icon.
If you're not the administrator, chances are you'll need to find
someplace else (where you have write permission) to install that package.
Error in install.packages("C:\\Users\\nn223\\Downloads\\nnet_7.3-1.zip", :
unable to install packages
or
> install.packages(nnet,lib=.Library)
Error in install.packages(nnet, lib = .Library) : object 'nnet' not found
That's because you don't have any object named nnet. Some functions
(e.g. library()) guess that you mean "nnet" when you type nnet, but
install.packages doesn't. So you should try
install.packages("nnet")
