Hello I am unable to authenticate my token either by the browser as shown above, or with an app and credentials. How do I point the save to somewhere else than "/Users/clayton1.rds' where I clearly don't have permissions

Hi there,
I'm having the same issues with authentication. I saw you added a fix, I am quite new to R, would you be able to let me know how I can apply this fix on my side please?

Thanks very much

@HarryKentTest You can try remotes::install_github("MichaelChirico/rtweet@fix-path"). Please be sure to monitor this page & return to a more official installation later on.
