im new on linux (ubuntu 18.04) and im having issues to install nonparaeff package to R version 4.0.2. when i was using r version 3.6.6 (i dont remeber well) i was fine to install. what would be the reason behind this? when i try to install the package, i got this output:

install.packages("nonparaeff)

  • Hello, welcome to stackoverflow! Did you follow the instructions below the first error message? (`Try removing ‘/home/vitor/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.0/00LOCK-data.table’`) – Vincent Guillemot Sep 17 '20 at 12:53
  • Also, try the solution proposed here : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14382209/r-install-packages-returns-failed-to-create-lock-directory – Vincent Guillemot Sep 17 '20 at 12:57
  • @VincentGuillemot, first of all, thanks for the answer. nope, i didnt, because i was scared to do something wrong, as i did before with other things. How i should i proceed this properly? – Vitor De Vasconcelos Lima Sep 17 '20 at 13:04
  • edit: dear @VincentGuillemot, i folowed the steps, especifically "install.packages("nonparaeff", dependencies = TRUE, INSTALL_opts = '--no-lock')" on the post of your second comment and did worked. Thank you !! – Vitor De Vasconcelos Lima Sep 17 '20 at 13:13
