Dear support team,
first of all: THANK YOU! This tool is just awesome!

Found that RStudio (server version) sets a default .libPaths that I want to change. So my first idea was to put a new definition into .Rprofile. However, although .Rprofile seems to be sourced, the path is somehow not set or overwritten again.
If I specify it manually in the R console, then it works.
So, any idea how I can configure my .libPaths more permanently?
Best,
Guido

   Hi Guido,

   Yes, we have an r-libs-user option which you can put into /etc/rstudio/rsession.conf. If provided the value of r-libs-user will be used to set R_LIBS_USER (it therefore also supports the various substitution/format strings used by R for R_LIBS_USER).

   Dear support team,

   I am using the RStudio desktop version and I am having trouble loading packages that were installed with R in command line. I tried to change the r-libs-user option in rsession.conf, but it does not seem to work. Is this solution only for the server edition?

   Thank you in advance for your help!

   R.
