How do I install non-CRAN R packages onto AWS?
Question
I have recently, set up an AWS accountand am in the process of uploading R packages I require
The process runs smoothly with CRAN packages using the command eg
sudo su c "R e \"install.packages('ggplot2', repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')\""
For non-CRAN packages, I got some help from this source https://github.com/hadley/devtools/issues/414 and tried
Rscript -e 'library(devtools); library(methods); install_github(commandArgs(TRUE))' "ramnathv/rCharts"
The zipped package (and others on github ) download but then I get the error
'lib="/usr/local/lib/R/site-library"' is not writable .
although that is where the R packages were written to
Has anyone successfully achieved this process and could give me the solution Tx

It looks like you just need sudo to install to that directory. You could try
sudo Rscript -e 'library(devtools); library(methods); install_github(commandArgs(TRUE))' "ramnathv/rCharts"
or
git clone https://github.com/ramnathv/rCharts.git
sudo R CMD INSTALL rCharts
