I'm very new to R and I'm running into the same problem over and over again. I tried already all solution suggestions I could find but nothing is working.

I try to install the BSgenome.Hsapiens:UCSC.hg19 using

BiocManager::install("BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19")

and I'll always get the same error warning.

Hi,

I see "Installation path not writeable" in the error messages you're showing us so I wonder: Can you install any package at all? Try something like:

install.packages("mgcv")

If this fails then your problem does not have much to do with the BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19 package or with Bioconductor. It's about your R setup which seems broken and would need to be fixed first.

H.

No installation is not my general problem. I can install packages and load them. But everything related to Bioconductor seems to be the Problem. I also get the same error when trying to install Homo.sapiens

Update: I found a way to install both packages with the help of further research. See further down for details

R doesn't like having the library directory on a network drive, so you have to trick it. Google 'windows map network drive' and follow the instructions that come up. You may need to adjust your .libPaths to point to the newly mapped drive.

R is not on a network. It is on the PC C:\Program Files\R\R-3.6.1 and my downloads are in my user folder in the same path

I didn't say anything about your R location, nor about where your downloads are. I said that R doesn't like having your library directory on a network share. A more correct statement would be to say that R is unable to install source packages on a network share, which is why you are able to install some packages but not others. The error you get is

CMD.EXE was started with the path given above as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported.
Instead, the Windows directory is set as the current directory.

Where it is clearly saying that UNC paths are not supported. A UNC path is by definition a network share, and the fix for this is for you to listen to what I originally said and map your UNC path to a local dir, like D: or E: or whatever, which you can find out how to do by (again) following my original advice to Google 'windows map network drive' and do what they say.

Sorry but I'm really not a computer scientist. I'm learning this all by myself. I googled what you suggested but it did not understand it in any way. With your second answer it became much clearer what you meant. The problem with this whole network share and your solution is, that one needs to be admin to perform these changes. which I'm not, nor am I allowed to be on this computer...

But I found some other way to shift my library. I created a folder and every time I install a package I tell R where to install it by using the command

install.packages ("packagename", lib = "C:/Users/.../R/libs)

And when loading the library I tell R where to load it from. So far it is working for me.

See ?.libPaths for more information about how to make that permanent.
