@abhinav19 Have you tried this?

@abhinav19 you should see a magic wand that you can click on. You can type in the r package in the textbox and then select the default personal directory. After its installed, you should run the R package inside the R tool and the script will run as expected.

Thanks @DiganP. I downloaded the 'Install R Packages.yxwz'. Now, I see below screen. What do i do now. Sorry if my question is very basic. I am new to Alteryx.

My default path is 'C:\Users\soniab\Documents\RPackages'

I need 'geosphere' and 'readxl' packages installed.

Hi @DiganP,

The install worked but when i called the package, i got below error. It may have to do with changing the default path of R package. Can you please help me with that?

Code: library(readxl)

My custom path where i downloaded the packge is 'C:\Users\soniab\Documents\RPackages'

Info: R (4): The following object is masked from 'package:AlteryxRDataX':
Info: R (4): XMSG
Error: R (4): Error: package or namespace load failed for 'readxl' in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
Info: R (4): namespace 'Rcpp' 0.12.16 is already loaded, but >= 0.12.18 is required
Error: R (4): Execution halted
Error: R (4): The R.exe exit code (1) indicated an error.

Find the c:\programs\alteryx r libraries and delete or rename the package library.

Cheers,

Mark
