There is nothing to tweak, on GHA there is no user package library by default, and the site and system libraries are not writeable for the default user. AFAICT.

We should certainly give a better error message, possibly check that the library is writeable before starting the installation.

Those examples use `r-lib/actions/setup-r` which configures a writeable library for you. So there is no need to do anything in the examples there.

Well, GHA machines have R installed, so if that version is OK, you don't to install another one. But then you need to do ``` dir.create(Sys.getenv("R_LIBS_USER"), recursive = TRUE) ```...

@kevinushey So if pak were to install packages from an renv lockfile, where would those packages go, and how would this work together with renv's libraries? Would the renv project...

OK, but that means that there is no pak function to add, and pak does not actually need to read the renv lockfile, and there is nothing to do here,...

@alexvpickering One hour still seems pretty long, have you tried to use binary Linux packages from https://packagemanager.posit.co? Re Matrix.utils, that's not in the lockfile at https://github.com/hms-dbmi-cellenics/pipeline/blob/master/pipeline-runner/renv.lock, am I looking at...

@kevinushey Do you have a list of possible values for the `Source` field in the lockfile, and the extra fields added for each package source? Just to make sure that...

Sorry, what I meant is, what values can be in the `Source` field? E.g. in the lockfile above, there are these: ``` ❯ names(table(sapply(df$Packages, "[[", "Source"))) [1] "Bioconductor" "GitHub" "Repository"...

Closing, because it is a duplicate.
