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, <kel...@bucknell.edu> wrote: > Hello! > I recently downloaded R and RStudio to my windows laptop.
