R package caret installed in R but failed to load in Rstudio-server

Question

I try to install the caret package and I do dev in RStudio server via the web. The install goes well in terminal-R and I can load the package but when I go to RStudio it says its not there. And when I try to install it on RStudio server it gives me non-zero exit status so it fails...

Is there a way to make RStudio server to behave the same as the terminal R?

Answer 1

Compare the output of

 .libPaths()

between your two cases; also look into

 IP <- installed.packages()

and learn about the directory arguments to install.packages() .

Answer 2

It seems when I login to rstudio server with user ruser things just bail out when I do library("caret")

It works when I login as ubuntu.

Try not to that as super-user but not at least it works!
