Installing R GitHub Package into a Specific Directory

Question

Im trying to install an R package from Github using DevTools as so:

library(devtools)
install_github("jeffbhasin/goldmine")
install_github("jeffbhasin/methylaction")

Problem is, Im using a shared HPC and need to install the packages in a specific directory. I tried doing the following but it didn't work:

install_github("jeffbhasin/goldmine", lib="/mydir")

Any ideas?

can you please add the error that is thrown back? – DataTx Dec 10 '17 at 23:41 — DataTx, Dec 10 '17 at 23:41

Using ?install_github there is no lib argument. subdir may be what you are looking for.

That's not correct. subdir changes the directory used on github. – mikemtnbikes Jul 21 '21 at 17:39
