Unable to deployApp due to no 'kable' package - r

I have been trying to run my first shinyapp from Rstudio.
The app loads but is undeployed. It stops running with the error:
Preparing to deploy application...DONE
Uploading bundle for application: 8122435...Warning in FUN(X[[i]], ...) :
Package 'kable' not available in repository or locally
Error: Unable to retrieve package records for the following packages: - 'kable'
then when trying to install package "kable"
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘kable’ is not available for this version of R
A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere,
see the ideas at
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-packages
Is this a temporary problem? Is there an easy way to go to an older version of R on a mac? I have tried loading kable package from other repositories aswell.
Any advice?

How to solve expss package loading problem

I would like to install the expss package but it keeps returning an error.
Looked around for other with similar problems and tried re-installing several packages but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have a suggestion how to fixed the problem?
So far i tried re-installing:
install.packages("stringr")
install.packages("knitr")
install.packages("checkmate")
install.packages("htmlwidgets")
install.packages("htmltools")
install.packages("htmlTable")
install.packages("expss")
But Rstudio keeps returning with and error :
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘expss’:
object 'mtfrm' not found whilst loading namespace 'expss'
Error: loading failed
Execution halted
ERROR: loading failed
* removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.1/Resources/library/expss’
Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ‘expss’ had non-zero exit status
The downloaded source packages are in
‘/private/var/folders/cl/5_wnd4b14y7b40zc80n1r3wdkcnbkn/T/RtmpdcLWsn/downloaded_packages’
According to this issue, the current version of expss won't install in versions of R before 4.2. This has recently been fixed in the development version. You could try:
updating your version of R to version 4.2 (probably the simplest solution if you don't need to keep an older version of R)
installing the development version of expss from GitHub: first install the remotes package, then remotes::install_github("gdemin/expss")
install an older version of expss (remotes::install_version("expss", "0.11.1"))

Error reading file while installing package devtools (R)

I've recently installed devtools looking to create my first package. At some point I tried loading the library, and got an error when 'devtools' tried to load the dependent library 'usethis'. Whenever I'd try to install it I'd get "error reading from connection". All solutions I could find online involved restarting R and my computer. Neither worked.
Finally, I manually deleted the folder, downloaded the .zip file from CRAN, and manually installed 'usethis'. I can now load 'usethis'.
I then tried loading 'devtools' but got the same error, but now for devtools.
> install.packages(pkgs = "C:/Users/.../Downloads/devtools_2.4.3.zip",repos = NULL)
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/.../OneDrive/Documents/R/win-library/4.0’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
package ‘devtools’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
> library(devtools)
Loading required package: usethis
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘devtools’ in readRDS(nsInfoFilePath):
error reading from connection
In addition: Warning messages:
1: package ‘devtools’ was built under R version 4.1.3
2: package ‘usethis’ was built under R version 4.2.0
3: In readRDS(nsInfoFilePath) : error reading the file
I tried reinstalling the package, both from CRAN and manually. I restarted R and restarted my computer, all multiple times. I even reinstalled 'usethis'.
When I reinstall devtools manually the installation exists without an error. But when I actually load it, I get the error above.
My computer is a standard personal Windows PC. No fancy configurations or firewall (beyond the standard - though that shouldn't be an issue when manually installing anyway I think). I've used this same set up for months, and have installed and used dozens of packages.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Can't install tmap R Package

I am having trouble installing the tmap R package. I am trying to install it using install.packages("tmap") and mn receiving this error:
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tmap’ in namespaceExport(ns, exports):
undefined exports: providers
Error: loading failed
Execution halted
ERROR: loading failed
Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ‘tmap’ had non-zero exit status
I'm new to R, but have tried many of the basic bug fix approaches (Reinstalling R Studio, quitting and restarting a session, installing from a local tar.gz instead of CRAN) but none seem to work. I think the package is being installed successfully but is not being loaded. Is that correct? How would I get tmap to load correctly?
I'm using R vers 3.6.1
Cheers
The object providers is re-exported from leaflet. Please make sure that leaflet is installed correctly, and check if leaflet::providers exists.
I would also strongly recommend to upgrade R to 4.x, if possible. I recall that there were some packages in the dependency/imports tree that didn't work well for R 3.x.

Failed to install bigrquery on RStudio server

I recently installed RStudio server on Google Compute Engine and now want to connect to BigQuery. I have successfully installed and loaded packages such as dplyr and ggplot2, but failed to load bigrquery and devtools. Running the code snippet below:
install.packages("bigrquery")
install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_github("rstats-db/bigrquery")
results in this error message:
Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called ‘devtools’
Loading bigrquery separately also results in similar error message:
Error in library(bigrquery) : there is no package called ‘bigrquery’
I noticed that the installation sent message saying dependencies for the package not available. I didn't get this problem installing and loading bigrquery and devtools on my RStudio desktop. How can I solve this? I'm working on Windows and launch the RStudio server on Google Chrome.

Causes of "Error: package '_____' was built before 3.0.0: please re-install it" in R

On one computer running R 2.15.2 I have installed packages from a .zip file (these packages happened to be ggplot2 and data.table, but I don't think the specific package is my issue.) Everything works fine. I took these packages to a computer without an internet connection and installed them. This other computer is running R 3.0.1. The packages seemed to install without a problem (using R's "install package(s) from local zip file" option). When I call the packages with the library(), I get the following error:
Error: package '<insert name of newly installed package here>' was build before 3.0.0: please-re-install it
Can anyone explain potential causes for this error to be thrown? Are there particular directories that the .zip packages must be in for a proper install? If R is installed on a separate partition from where the .zip packages were loaded, could this cause the error?
I'm at a loss, any pointers are greatly appreciated. This is a difficult one to reproduce; if you need any other version/system parameters to understand the problem, please don't hesitate to ask.
I found this solution while look at GitHub ggplot2 issue #796
update.packages(checkBuilt = TRUE, ask = FALSE)
It will update all the packages that need to be reinstalled.
Running install.packages("codetools") can fix this issue for R 3.0.2, if you have the same problem like me:

I installed shiny according https://github.com/rstudio/shiny-server/wiki/Ubuntu-step-by-step-install-instructions
and got the same error at the step

I tried the answer by Richard Lee by starting R

and got the error
Warning in install.packages("shiny") :

Would you like to use a personal library instead? (y/n) n
Error in install.packages("shiny") : unable to install packages
obviously no write permission, so
sudo R
Now I tried again
install.packages("shiny")
and got a number of errors
Error : package ‘codetools’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
Error : package ‘RJSONIO’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
Error : package ‘caTools’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
Error : package ‘bitops’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
Error : package ‘digest’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
Error : package ‘xtable’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
Each time I got an error, I re-installed the requested package
install.packages("codetools")
install.packages("RJSONIO")
etc.
and eventually, I was able to install Rccp, httpuv, and even shiny.
Now it works!!

I am using rkward on precise
I had a similar error using rkward. Specifically this one:
'lib = "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library"' is not writable
I temporarily changed the permissions for this directory so that rkward could run this from its console:
update.packages(checkBuilt = TRUE, ask = FALSE)
all to fix this:
Error: package '' was build before 3.0.0: please-re-install it
so that (sigh...) I could fix 'default' configuration for audio on precise. I couldn't use play() etc. in rkward.
That just needed phonon-backend-gtstreamer
I tried to install swirl on R(v3.1.0) on ubuntu 12.04LTS:

I hope the same may help fix your installation issue.
Here is the work-around that I used:
I installed the latest version of R on an internet-capable computer. I then loaded the my required packages (Packages->install packages->select mirror->select package...
After R is finished installing, it displays a message of where the temporary .zip package is located. I navigated to this location, grabbed the temp package, and burnt it to a cd.
In this way, I could get the newer package build onto a computer without internet access. I would still be interested to know if there is an easy way to rebuild a package downloaded on an early R version to make it compatible with the latest version (without needed an internet connection).
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction #JoshuaUlrich
