The R module is available on Pawsey systems:
$ module load r/4.13.0
Pawsey systems also preconfigure the shell environment to provide a meaningful location for user-specific package installations (in this case, R will interpret %v as 4.1):3.0), as seen below. This step is automatically run for you.
export R_LIBS_USER=/software/projects/<project-id>/<user-name>/setonix/<DATE-TAG>/r/%v
Install a package using install.packages()

Install a package using R CMD INSTALL
R also provides a Linux shell option to install packages, via the command R CMD INSTALL. This command requires the package tarball to be already downloaded. It will not take care of any dependencies, so it is an effective method only for simple installations.
Let's load the R module:
$ module load r/4.1.0
Now let's install Rcpp from its downloaded tarball:

An alternative way to install from a tarball is to use the install.packages("Rcpp_1.0.6.tar.gz"). This assumes the tarball is in your working directory. It is also possible to additionally specify the installation location by adding the lib=/install/path/for/package flag.
Let's load the R module:
$ module load r/4.3.0
Now let's install Rcpp from its downloaded tarball and specify the install location:
