R not finding package even after package installation
Do .libPaths()
, close every R runing, check in the first directory, remove the zoo
package restart R and install
zoo
again. Of course you need to have sufficient rights.
When you run
install.packages("whatever")
you got message that your binaries are downloaded into temporary location (e.g. The downloaded binary packages are in C:\Users\User_name\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpC6Y8Yv\downloaded_packages ). Go there. Take binaries (zip file). Copy paste into location which you get from running the code:
.libPaths()
If libPaths shows 2 locations, then paste into second one. Load library:
library(whatever)
Fixed.
I had this problem and the issue was that I had the package loaded in another R instance. Simply closing all R instances and installing on a fresh instance allowed for the package to be installed.
Generally, you can also install if every remaining instance has never loaded the package as well (even if it installed an old version).
