Making R installation self-contained/user-independent

Question

I\'m trying to get R to ignore c:\\users\\name\\documents and be completely self-contained/portable

Here\'s my directory structure:

.../R/R-2.1.2.2/.         


        

Answer 1

I used the Rprofile.site file in [your R installation path]\etc and added the following lines to make C:/R/library my default library location each time R is launched:

# set a site library
 .Library.site <- file.path("C:/R/library")
 .libPaths(.Library.site)

I tried the other answers here but none of them worked with R 2.13.1 on Windows 7 64.
