install.packages function does not recognize new library path in RStudio

Question

I am connecting remotely to a work server and need to be able to install R packages via RStudio. I have read through other questions/answers on this topic, but haven't been able to solve this for myself. I think the following input and output shows my issues the best: (edit: I do not have admin powers, but can call IT as last resort)

>.libPaths("C:/RWorkSpace") #setting new file path
>.libpaths() #testing

[1] "C:/RWorkSpace"                      "C:/Program Files/R/R-3.4.1/library"

>install.packages("bibliometrix", dependencies = TRUE, lib="C:/RWorkSpace") 

The downloaded source packages are in
    ‘C:\Users\cortiz\AppData\Local\Temp\7\RtmpOsVuTB\downloaded_packages’

>library(bibliometrix)

Error in library(bibliometrix) : There is no package called 'bibliometrix'

>installed.packages()["bibliometrix","C:/RWorkSpace"]

Error in installed.packages()["bibliometrix","C:/RWorkSpace"] : subscript out of bounds

I just need to download the package and dependencies, and I expected them to be downloaded to the folder I specified ("C:/RWorkSpace").

• very new to working with R in general so please bear with me. Any help greatly appreciated!
