#Tips for setting up R packages on windows 10

I recommend installing packages to your local drive, not the shared network drive. Though R will default to the network drive (which is "\\\\staff\..."), so some knowledge is required to overcome this.
You could also ask IT to bind a letter to your network drive. I've read that works (see here: https://github.com/r-lib/devtools/issues/353)

Here's the steps I followed to install packages:
Create a shortcut to R on desktop.
Right click it

IdoBar

#! /bin/bash
# Ask user for sudo password (to be used when needed)
read -s -p "Enter Password for sudo: " sudoPW

# update CRAN repository below if needed
REPO="'https://cran.rstudio.com/'"

a <- 2
x <- seq(0, 1, length.out = 100)
n <- length(x)
sigma <- 0.5
set.seed(42)
lny <- rnorm(n, mean = a*x, sd = sigma)
y <- exp(lny)
