Installing R-packages without sudo rights

I'm trying to install different libraries in my user folder on maestro server (folder can be riched by ~/.local) :

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")

BiocManager::install("GenomicRanges")

this produces an error:

checking for curl-config... no
Cannot find curl-config
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘RCurl’

I googled this and found that the following can help

sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev

But since I'm on server I can't use sudo...

QUESTION: Is there any way to install those libraries without sudo rights ?

Thanks in advance!

server r

Are you able to use conda? Tried this already?

Totally agree with Wayne, conda is the best choice for non-root users if you want to install something
