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.
