Not able to install R library in PowerBI
Why do you want to install it via Power BI?
Power BI performs actions that are repeatable (i.e.regular data refreshes) but you'd normally install a package just once.
Is it possible to use library out of Powerbi and still use it in Powerbi? How to do that? When I install library in R studio, it is saved in a temp folder as I can see... and not possible to use it in powerbi...
Change the installation path in R Studio to the path that you've entered in your PBI settings:
Do you mean C:\Program Files\R\R-3.6.2\library? But i just found this folder is read only and however i change it to writable, it will be changed back automatically...
Sorry, I might have given the wrong advice here.
My R-libraries are installed in a local folder in the documents-path of my user.
I don't understand the details behind it, so hopefully someone else jumps in here.
