Definitely the proper solution. The only catch is if your user is not a admin (likely the case if you're having this problem to begin with), you have to change your environment variables via Control Panel->User Accounts->User Accounts->Change my environment variables.

Sure, just set these as your shell variables (in bash you can edit .bash_profile and/or .bashrc). See here: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/117467/… For setting these for current session only type in console export R_LIBS_USER='directory_of_your_choice'

instead of setting the variable through control panel, I have modified the default value of R_LIB_USER in the Rprofile file. Here the solution: I came up with a similar approach, the solution is presented in as a solution to this question stackoverflow.com/questions/31707941/…
