You lack privileges to write into the root directory, which action is the source of the "permission denied" message. Good practice is to use a directory in your user-space such as a subdirectory of Documents as indicated by Mr. Newmiller. Ideally you should use getwd() and setwd() locate and set the directory where your data and any saved files are placed. If you are using are RStudio, it is relatively simple do this under the "Session/Set Working Directory" menu choices.
