I guess you need to specify the lib directory
https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/utils/html/
install.packages.html

"lib character vector giving the library directories where to install the
packages. Recycled as needed. If missing, defaults to the first element of
.libPaths
<https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/libPaths.html>()"

https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/libPaths.html

Check sys.glob!

https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/Sys.glob.html

Try Sys.getenv ().

Hope this helps.
