library problems in R - r

Question

I installed the package required and set my library using install.packages("bipartite",lib="C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Rwork")
When i finish installing package, it says the downloaded binary packages are in C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpuGqI8Q\downloaded_packages
I checked my directory using dir(), all the things in package bipartite are in C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Rwork
When i try to load the package using this command, library("bipartite", lib.loc="C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Rwork") the error appear
Error: package ‘vegan’ required by ‘bipartite’ could not be found
In addition: Warning message:
package ‘bipartite’ was built under R version 3.3.3
Checked my dir() again and it stated that there is a "vegan' in my working directory
Tried to look at .libPaths() it show this
[1] "C:/Users/Owner/Documents/R/win-library/3.3"
[2] "C:/Program Files/R/R-3.3.2/library"
How do i solve this? Do i need to change the library path?

I could reproduce your error. It looks like R does not install the dependencies. This works however:
library(permute, lib.loc = "C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Rwork")
library(vegan, lib.loc = "C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Rwork")
library(statnet.common, lib.loc = "C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Rwork")
library(network, lib.loc = "C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Rwork")
library(sna, lib.loc = "C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Rwork")
library(bipartite, lib.loc = "C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Rwork")
It's just a workaround. Maybe this can also help:
library(devtools)
load_all("C:/Users/Owner/Documents/Rwork")
