For this purpose, in the default setup on Debian we have /usr/local/lib/R/site-library. When using the R backport from CRAN on Debian testing this is what you should get: > sessionInfo() R version 3.1.3 (2015-03-09) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) Running under: Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) ... > .libPaths() [1] "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library" "/usr/lib/R/site-library" "/usr/lib/R/library" > Under Ubuntu, I used to > have the following line in ~/.Renviron: > R_LIBS=/usr/local/R/library:/usr/lib/R/site-library This worked > fine and /usr/local/R/library showed up in .libPaths().
