Hello Charles, a slight variation of what Rolf wrote, this is my setup: in my ~/.Rprofile (which is read at R's startup), I set the R_LIBS_USER variable like so: R_LIBS_USER=~/.local/share/R/libs Of course you may vary the exact path according to your liking. Another helpful option I found is the follwoing, if you decide you like a specific repository best (to avoid the selection dialog): in your ~/.Rprofile, add this line: options(repos=structure(c(CRAN="http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/misc/cran/";))) (Use the repo which is fastest for you).
