Error in library(randomForest) :
  there is no package called 'randomForest'

No error is prompted. Does anyone know how to fix or debug this problem?

Answer 1

Thanks to all comments, I have solved the problem.

It is the lib path problems, the path I am installing to is not in .libPaths().

I solved it by adding the path into .libPaths() by

.libPaths( c(.libPaths(), "/home/admin/user/data"))

and then, my code will find the randomForest package under the added path.
