"Local instalation" of the package

[Vincent-Poitras]

Hi,

I don't have administrator rights and I cannot install the package simply using install.packages("worldmet"), which yields

'lib = "...../compilers_and_tools/R/4.0.5/lib64/R/library"' is not writable

---

To fix this problem I tried to do a "local installation" install.packages("worldmet","/path_to_my_local_folder"), which don't work either:

Error in contrib.url(repos, type) :
trying to use CRAN without setting a mirror
Calls: install.packages -> startsWith -> contrib.url
Execution halted

---

I tried (without being sure what I am doing) different things, e.g.
install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/worldmet_0.9.5.tar.gz","/path_to_my_local_folder",dependencies=TRUE)
But this still not working:

inferring 'repos = NULL' from 'pkgs'
trying URL 'https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/worldmet_0.9.5.tar.gz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 388109 bytes (379 KB)

ERROR: dependencies ‘openair’, ‘doParallel’, ‘foreach’, ‘purrr’, ‘dplyr’, ‘leaflet’, ‘tidyr’, ‘readr’ are not available for package ‘worldmet’
removing ‘/path_to_my_local_folder’

It is possible to indicate me how to install the worldmet package and its depencies in a "local directory", I am pretty sure I am not the only one with this issue.

Thanks!
