I have tried to install randomForest() directly from the archived links with zero success. Every time I get the same error:
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/randomForest/randomForest_4.6-14.tar.gz’ 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
Any help would be appreciated, thanks! I have looked at other posts on the site, but none of the things have worked and they are geared towards version 4.0.2 (I don't know how big of a difference that makes)
I wish to use a package called rclinicaltrials, on using install.packages(), I get the following message -
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘rclinicaltrials’ 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
And after installing, on using library(), I get the message -
Error in library(rclinicaltrials) :
there is no package called ‘rclinicaltrials’
Is there any way of using this package in my version of R? I am using R version 4.1.0 (2021-05-18). Or do I need to install an older version of R?
Thank you
My first post in an early programming career - any help very welcome.
I am studying R, and using a book called R in Nutshell (O'Reilly). The book is supported by a package that was previously available on CRAN. The package on CRAN has been archived - it is still there though as nutshell_2.0.tar.gz.
I am running MacOS Catalina, R version 3.2.1.(after downgrading from 4.02 to try and solve this issue , without success), and RStudio version 1.3.1093.
When I try to install the package into R via RStudio I have this experience:
packageurl <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/nutshell/nutshell_2.0.tar.gz
install.packages(packageurl,contriburl=NULL,type="source")
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/nutshell/nutshell_2.0.tar.gz’ is not available (for R version 3.2.1)
I have a similar experience if I download the tar.gz file and try to import it directly under Tools/Install Packages.
I am able to install other packages on CRAN successfully.
Many thanks
Up front, I'm doing this on windows and not on macos, but the packages here have no compiled code so there should be few if any differences. Also, I tested on R-4.0.2; I don't think this will be a problem, because these packages appear to have been last-updated in 2012, so if they install on my 4.0.2, then they are likely to work on every version of R since then (including your 4+ year-old R-3.2).

I tried reproducing installation from archive. I got error that dependencies of this package are not available.
ERROR: dependencies 'nutshell.bbdb', 'nutshell.audioscrobbler' are not available for package 'nutshell'

Did you get the same error? If yes, then did you try to install them and try again?
As per the accepted answer, the solution was to install the missing dependent packages first, then the Nutshell package.
I was then able to update to R4.02
audioscrobbler_1.0.tar.gz
nutshell.bbdb_1.0.tar.gz
nutshell_2.0.tar.gz
I got the error message: "package ‘titletoc’ is not available (for R version 3.6.0)" but I checked MiKTeX Console that the package "titlesec" is in the list of packages and all the packages are updates. I am using a Mac (not sure if it matters).
Then I searched online to try to install the package "titletoc" separately, but I found nowhere to download this package. Something must be wrong, anyone has a clue?
I'm new in R programming. Want a run little script for TTR package, but getting version error
Here is my code part
options(repos=(CRAN="https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=TTR"))
install.packages("https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=TTR")
and here is error I get
Warning: unable to access index for repository https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=TTR/src/contrib:
cannot open URL 'https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=TTR/src/contrib/PACKAGES'
Warning message: package 'https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=TTR' is not available (for R version 3.4.4)
Error in library(TTR) : there is no package called 'TTR'
but when I run TTR library from https://rdrr.io/snippets/ , it works well, and R version in the link is 3.4.4
How can I solve this problem?
EDIT: I see this question How should I deal with "package 'xxx' is not available (for R version x.y.z)" warning?, but can not find my solution
I tried it with your command, and i get the same error. But using the standard way with install.packages does the job.
You can install the package with:
install.packages('TTR', dependencies=TRUE, repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')
