How to Add Support for Downloaded Packages

[ThePsychoBuck]

Hello,

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask. I am currently using Emacs with Spacemacs config. I have added LSP support for R to it according to this doc. However, LSP is only helping for things from base packages, not from other packages I have downloaded from CRAN like Tidyverse.

Here is my system information:

## Hardware Information:

                 git helm lsp
                 (shell :variables shell-default-height 30 shell-default-position 'bottom)
                 treemacs)

I'm not sure. Are you looking for support for LSP mode? 🤔

The R support is in https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode/blob/master/clients/lsp-r.el.
