text: user16537: I was trying to format my GWAS summary statistics with the MungeSumstats R package and would need to install SNPlocs.Hsapiens.dbSNP155.GRCh37 and BSgenome.Hsapiens.1000genomes.hs37d5 as reference panel. 
  I typed
  BiocManager::install("SNPlocs.Hsapiens.dbSNP144.GRCh37") BiocManager::install("BSgenome.Hsapiens.1000genomes.hs37d5")
  but failed due to Internet connection problems. So I planned to download the files from the web browser and copy them to the R library. I was wondering where I should put the files. If they were downloaded from R, where would they be saved? 
  I would really appreciate any answers, thanks!
  
  user2108: First, I would try again to download via the bioconductor command. If your internet is intermittent it may just take a few tries.
  If that doesn't work, I would then strongly recommend using BioCManager to install from a local source wherever you've downloaded the files. If you try to copy the files around there are a lot of ways that things can go wrong, and there are a lot of ways that it still might not work even if you put it in the right place, if you don't use the package manager as intended.
