I have been trying to install R package 'e1071' but been receiving error message

Error: in install.packages : cannot open file 'C:/Users/Elikplim/Documents/R/win-library/3.4/filecf8349c707f/numDeriv/doc/Guide.pdf': Permission denied.

any suggestions?

  • from the path and drive letter I guess its windows, have you seen response to [a related question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31471789/permission-denied-error-while-building-checking-r-package-on-windows) – Imran Ali Oct 29 '17 at 11:22
  • @elikplim Did you start R with administrator privileges? `install.packages()` doesn't work well unless you're running R as administrator. – Len Greski Nov 24 '17 at 04:39
