Unable to Install Packages on RCloud - rcloud

Question

I am unable to install packages and have tried installing packages through devtools with no success. Seems I can not create a library to hold installed packages. Our we allowed to install packages on RCloud? or is there no space for us to install packages to begin with? I get the following errors:
#1ERROR: failed to create lock directory /shared/users/rcloud/danielra0091/library/00LOCK-digest’
#2ERROR: unable to create ‘/shared/users/rcloud/danielra0091/library/rbenchmark’
```

FYI, if you install packages yourself, they will be installed in your personal library. You may also request package installation from your server admins which will be installed for everyone in the RCloud instance.
One issue you may be running into with your local (or personal library) installation is that you need to set up a proxy to get outside your firewall to the installation libraries / packages in public domains.
Another may be due to the R and RCloud version that is currently installed. If you think that might be the case, I would contact your RCloud admins.
