Hello, I want to impute my data, but R is not allowing me to do so. R keeps showing the following message:

> BiocManager::install("impute")
Bioconductor version 3.18 (BiocManager 1.30.22), R 4.3.2 (2023-10-31 ucrt)
Installation paths not writeable, unable to update packages
  path: C:/Program Files/R/R-4.3.2/library
  packages:
    boot
Warning:
package(s) not installed when version(s) same as or greater than current; use `force = TRUE` to re-install: 'impute'

what should I do?

Greetings, Laura !

hi, you're getting actually two different messages, one less relevant to your actual question, which says:

Installation paths not writeable, unable to update packages path: C:/Program Files/R/R-4.3.2/library packages: boot

and it means that you do not have permissions to update the so-called base and recommended packages that form part of the installation of the R software in a filesystem path, in your case C:/Program Files/R/R-4.3.2/library, where your username by default has no permissions to write.

The other message, more relevant to your question, says:

Warning: package(s) not installed when version(s) same as or greater than current; use force = TRUE to re-install: 'impute'

It means that the package impute is actually already installed in your system with the most current version of it. If you want to re-install the package impute you should type:

BiocManager::install("impute", force=TRUE)

But, in summary, you should be able to directly load it via library(impute) without doing anything else.

cheers,

robert.
