I receive an error when installing RQDA on Windows 10.
I had run RQDA successfully, then a package wouldn't load and I deleted and tried to reinstall RQDA with these instructions: http://rqda.r-forge.r-project.org/.
Since then, I receive errors pointing towards RGtk2 and GTK+.
I tried loading RQDA both using the newest and older versions of R and RStudio. I tried on 3 different Windows computers.
Here is the link that shows the RQDA package was recently archived:
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RQDA/index.html
The archive points towards requiring gWidgets, so I made sure the library of gWidgets loads successfully, which it does, as does library(gWidgetsRGtk2).
I also took care to install RTools4.0 for R 4.0.0 (https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/).
I made sure GTK+ is on my PATH. (Path: %GTK_BASEPATH%\bin;) (GTK_PATH: C:\GTK).
I also tried loading RQDA and dependencies manually, but that's a never ending process.
Here is the error I receive:
Failed to load RGtk2 dynamic library, attempting to install it.
Please install GTK+ from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win64/gtk+/2.22/gtk+-bundle_2.22.1-20101229_win64.zip

An received the same RGTk2 error loop.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I've got RQDA working in Windows after:
install.packages(c("gWidgets", "RGtk2", "igraph","plogr","bit","RSQLite"),depen=T)
To install "gWidgetsRGtk2" it was needed:
Download GTK+: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.22/gtk+-bundle_2.22.1-20101227_win32.zip
Create an empty folder like c:\opt\
Unzip the content of that file in the folder created. You'll have something like c:\opt\gtk+-bundle_2.22.1-20101227_win32. The name of this folder can be changed.
Then add c:\opt\gtk+-bundle_2.22.1-20101227_win32\bin to your PATH
To add the bin folder to the PATH: right-click on "My Computer" and select "Properties", then "Advanced" tab, then "Environment Variables". Select the "PATH" variable and then "Edit" Add "c:\opt\gtk+-bundle_2.22.1-20101227_win32\bin" to the items in the PATH variable.
PS. Make sure you have no other versions of GTK+ in PATH.
So You can run the following code:
url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/gWidgetsRGtk2/gWidgetsRGtk2_0.0-86.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "gWidgetsRGtk2_0.0-86.tar.gz"
download.file(url = url, destfile = pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgs=pkgFile, type="source", repos=NULL)
Once the "gWidgetsRGtk2" is installed, you can run the following command to install RQDA:
install.packages("RQDA",repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org", type="source")

We've been discussing this issue at : https://github.com/Ronggui/RQDA/issues/38
Some have reported success installing it and have given feedback on how to do it.
Some contributors are working to port RQDA to gWidgets2. May be one of their solutions works for you.
Good luck.
After I gave the answer above I tryed to install it my self and this was as far as I've got using RKWard 0.7.1b, on VM with MsWins10.
https://rkward.kde.org/
with R 3.6.3 in RKWard library (I had RQDA working before. So I uninstalled RKWard and deleted the library directory on C:\Program Files):
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/old/3.6.3
and RTools35
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/history.html
also installed.
install.packages(c("gWidgets", "gWidgetsRGtk2", "RGtk2", "igraph","plogr","bit","RSQLite"),depen=T)
update.packages(ask = FALSE, checkBuilt = TRUE)
library(RGtk2)
Selected GTK+
Restarted RKWard
Installing ""RQDA_0.3-1.tar.gz", type = "source"", gave me an error: "Failed to load RGtk2 dynamic library, attempting to install it". But by chance, I just saw the post by #JanMarvin and it worked!!!
install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/RQDA/RQDA_0.3-1.tar.gz", type = "source", INSTALL_opts = "--no-multiarch")
Then I ran:
update.packages(ask = FALSE, checkBuilt = TRUE)
And then
library (RQDA)
And it worked!!
If anyone could please refine it or give other suggestions as how to install it on MsWin, would be very much appreciated!
Thanks to #sjewo and #JanMarvin for their hard work!! porting this package to R 4.
These steps update the previous to install RQDA. I'm using Windows 10, and this code was run on April-17, 2021:
Use R version 3.6.3, 32 bits. If possible, also install Rstudio;
Run install.packages("gWidgets", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org");
Run install.packages(c("RGtk2","igraph","plogr","bit","RSQLite","cairoDevice"),depen=T);
Run library("RGtk2") . An error message will appear, asking you to install GTK+. Select it and press OK;
Restart R. Then run library("RGtk2") again to see if everything is OK;
Create the folder C:\GTK;
Go to https://download.gnome.org/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.22/ and download the file gtk+-bundle_2.22.1-20101227_win32.zip in C:\GTK;
Unpack the downloaded file in C:\GTK;
Go to the System environment and add to system variables C:\GTK\bin to your PATH;
Restart Windows;
Run the following code:
url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/gWidgetsRGtk2/gWidgetsRGtk2_0.0-86.1.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "gWidgetsRGtk2_0.0-86.1.tar.gz"
download.file(url = url, destfile = pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgs=pkgFile, type="source", repos=NULL);
Finally, run install.packages("RQDA",repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org", type="source");
Enjoy!!!
FWIW, I've written a package called RQDAassist that I and my team use to help with RQDA, including installing the CRAN archive on R 4.0. Check it out and if there's any problem, do post an issue. To do the step-wise installation of RQDA
RQDAassist::install()
That's it.
Also, I noticed that active development is ongoing by RQDA maintainers, so I expect (hope) this issue to be resolved soon.
I wish to install sentiment140 github package by developer okugami79. I wrote following script for the same:
install.packages("githubinstall")
require(devtools)
library(githubinstall)
install_github('sentiment140', 'okugami79')
library(sentiment)
But it threw an error:
Installation failed: Failed to connect to raw.githubusercontent.com port 443: Timed out
Warning message: Username parameter is deprecated. Please use okugami79/sentiment140
Then I modified installation statement as follows:
install_github('okugami79/sentiment140')
Still it threw an error:
Installation failed: Failed to connect to raw.githubusercontent.com port 443: Timed out
I checked for solution on stackoverflow through following link:
Timeout R package installation from Github
Here, I found a way to install github package by downloading package zip file and installing it in R using:
install.packages("/address/to/zip-package", repos = NULL, type="source")
This also prompts error:
Warning: invalid package 'sentiment-master'
Error: ERROR: no packages specified
Warning in install.packages :

Warning in install.packages : installation of package ‘sentiment-master’ had non-zero exit status
How should I go about installing required package from github in R ? Your valuable advice/solution is requested.
Thank You !
Just a straightforward pair of functions installed this package from Github source for me on both Windows and OSX.
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github('okugami79/sentiment140')
There may be something unusual about your system setup, in which case, it would be helpful to have your session information. You can get that by entering sessionInfo().
However, note that this package you are looking to install is over 4 years old per the description file on Github. A lot of work has gone into other packages that work with natural language processing and sentiment analysis. The CRAN Task View for Natural Language Processing is a good place to start for an overview of many of these packages that can be installed directly from CRAN. There are many resources that are better maintained. For example, here's a chapter on sentiment analysis using the tidytext package.
I'm trying to to install R packages from artifactory and also i need to authenticate but im not sure how i can pass credentials to the install.packages in R :
the below is what i tried but it doesnt work, however when i tried to use curl to query for the same file it works :
install.packages('broom',repos="http://user:pass#artifactory-url:port/artifactory/cran/",method=curl,verbose="true")
output :

I'm not able to install any packages in R. I tried in all versions of R starting from 3.2.2 till 3.2.4(revised), but I get the same error. It seems like a proxy issue to me as I'm connected to my college firewall. I was able to install the packages when I'm connected to my home network. Can you please guide me to resolve this issue.?

This is the same problem I was also facing while installing any packages. The main reason what I think is that your R session can't connect to the files path on Cran server.
What I did was just manually go to the Cran website and download the windows release for that particular package. Now unzip the files and manually paste the folder into your library folder of R.
The library folder path will be something like this:
C:\Program Files\R\R-3.2.3\library
Now go to your R console and load it with library(package name).
You can now use your package.
Simply use HTTP mirror instead of HTTPS ones.
To change mirror go to "Packages menu" -> "Set CRAN mirror" -> "(HTTP mirrors)" -> select any
Thanks for your valuable feedback guys. The solution to this problem drove me crazy. I have set my proxy settings according to my college network in MOZILLA, however, I have not set the same for IE. I guess, R downloads the packages based on IE settings, which was not configured. After setting the proxy to connect to the internet, I was able to download the packages without any issues.
Figured this out after trying all your solutions, but at last it was this silly thing that worked.
Thanks for all your time and suggestions.
you can reset and restore your internet connection (for windows and your default explorer),The problem will be solved.
To fix:
Uncheck the 'use secure download method' checkbox in Rstudio global options.
Restart internet then restart Rstudio
