I am unable to install packages in R

When I try to install any package in Rstudio I get the following error message:

Error in install.packages : path[1]="C:\Users\javad\Documents\.Rhistory\win-library\3.2": The system cannot find the path specified

How can I solve it?

In my case antivirus which was stopping r studio to download and install. For that we can either add exception in antivirus for r studio or disable antivirus and install.

Remove the file .Rhistory in directory C:\Users\javad\Documents\.Rhistory

Now try installing the package. This should solve your problem.

You need to set your library path to a folder that exists.

At the shell prompt type:

   export R_LIBS="C:/users/your_username/R_libs"
   mkdir C:/users/your_username/R_libs

Changing R default library path using .libPaths in Rprofile.site fails to work
