[R] R and default library

[Deepayan Sarkar]

(Assuming that you are on Unix/Linux,) You can install libraries from source 
to anywhere you want by using the -l flag to R INSTALL, e.g.

R INSTALL -l ~/R/library <package>.tar.gz

You can load them inside R by 

library(package, lib.loc = "~/R/library")

(If you want to do this often, you might want to have a .Renviron file under ~ 
with the line

R_LIBS=~/R/library

in which case library() will search for a package there before looking in the 
system wide location.)
