Installing Bioconductor packages

Question

I have installed R(3.4.0) on my ubuntu. I would like to use EdgeR package. I tried to follow the installation instruction available on Bioconductor website to install Bioconductor packages.

I used the following commands in R:

    source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
    biocLite()

but I am getting the following error:

    BioC_mirror: https://bioconductor.org
    Using Bioconductor 3.5 (BiocInstaller 1.26.0), R 3.4.0 (2017-04-21).
    installation path not writeable, unable to update packages: spatial

I am new to linux and can not understand how to fix the error.

Does any body have any idea how can I fix the issue.

You can also use devtools :

devtools::install_bioc("edgeR")
