r - How to get install() in devtools to look for dependencies in several .libPaths -
i using install function in devtools-package handle installation of r-package building, conveniently handle installation within r.
my .libpaths() setup follows: first directory-path in .libpaths() install own packages , packages not on cran., while second directory-path contains lot of common packages cran, installed sysadmin.
i wish install package in first directory-path in .libpath(), packages in .libpaths() , install packages not found in of them. however, running install() (or install_github()) in devtools re-installs packages in first directory-path, have installed in second directory-path in libpaths(). not desired behavior, , ineffective package depends on quite lot of other packages.
when running "r cmd install package" command line, packages not found in second (or first) directory-path installed (in first one). desired behavior, , how want install in devtools operate. none of input arguments install() seems fix behavior.
does know whether possible accomplish command line behavior devtools-install? make install() dependencies in other .libpaths() directories before deciding install them?
i on ubuntu 16.04 r version 3.3.1.
any pointers in right direction highly appreciated.
