I would like R to run a script anytime I start up R. I am using R on a Linux cluster and I do not have access to R installation and the .Rprofile file and I cannot find it either. I can run R and have my local packages/libraries. For example, I would like to set the lib paths each time R is started.

.libPaths("path")

Is it possible to define and set a path for a custom startup script file?

In a non-interactive session, I could do in Bash something like

Rscript script.R

and my script.R has

.libPaths('path')
...
more code

Did you try to place a .Rprofile file in your home directory? – RHertel Jun 15 '16 at 16:07
yes. but I don't think it does anything. – mindlessgreen Jun 15 '16 at 20:04
@rmf I know its long ago, did you find a solution to this ? I am also running on linux cluster – Perl Del Rey Mar 08 '20 at 18:44
I created a .Rprofile in the home directory and added `.libPaths("/path/to/packages/")` and it seems to work. – mindlessgreen Mar 09 '20 at 09:58
