Looks like you don't have administrator permission, try to get them first and then try again,
How can get administrator permission in R studio?
Get an administrator account for windows.
If your account has local admin privileges then right click on R-studio icon and use "run as administrator". Looks like you are using Windows so this should work.
Read about
libargument ofinstall.packages(), and set it to a directory where you have write access.
