Apparently You do not have permissions to write to the target directory.
More generally speaking: it seems You do not have permissions to install
software. Maybe You should contact Your system administrator and ask
him/her for help-

Or install it to a different library than the standard one. See the lib argument in ?install.packages.

But this was only a warning. What normally happens is that You are offered the creation of a personal directory.

In any case, this is a FAQ: please refer people to FAQs for comprehensive answers:
