-For renv, the cache directory will vary by OS. Look at https://rstudio.github.io/renv/articles/renv.html#cache
-
-Locations:
-
-- Ubuntu: `~/.local/share/renv`
-- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/renv`
-- Windows: `%LOCALAPPDATA%/renv`
-
-### Simple example
-
-```yaml
-- uses: actions/cache@v2
-  with:
-    path: ~/.local/share/renv
-    key: ${{ runner.os }}-renv-${{ hashFiles('**/renv.lock') }}
-    restore-keys: |
-      ${{ runner.os }}-renv-
-```
-
-Replace `~/.local/share/renv` with the correct `path` if not using Ubuntu.
-
-### Multiple OS's in a workflow
+For renv, the cache directory will vary by OS. The `RENV_PATHS_ROOT` environment variable is used to set the cache location. Have a look at https://rstudio.github.io/renv/reference/paths.html#details for more details.
