D3heatmap not found for R Version 4.0 - r

I'm trying to install an old package I had in RStudio for an old version of RStudio but I get the following:
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘d3heatmap’ is not available (for R version 4.0.0)
I'm trying to install d3heatmap but ever since I upgraded to 4.0, I can't install it. I'm thinking I have to install an old version of RStudio. But I want to verify if d3heatmap is still available and what versions it still works for but I can't find any information on it.
Anyone able to help me out?

you can downloaded the zip file here (https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/d3heatmap/)
and run this code in Rstudio
install.packages("d3heatmap_0.6.1.2.tar.gz",repos=NULL,type="source")

update.packages fails to update existing packages built for old version of R

After upgrading R from 3.6.2 to 4.0.1, I used update.packages(pkgs, checkBuilt=T, ask=F) command to update existing packages to the new version. While I expected the command to build/install existing packages for R 4.0.1, the command did not rebuild existing packages that were built/installed for R 3.6.2 and were available for R 4.0.1. However, I was able to use install.packages command to build/install existing packages for R 4.0.1; see here for my current solution. Have others encountered this issue?
I had the same issue. I'm not sure you can use checkBuilt = T to update some packages built for older major releases of R. I wiped my R library and installed everything I needed again.

How to install MVPARTwrap package in R version 3.6.1?

I am trying to install mvpart and MVPARTwrap packages in R version 3.6.1.
I install on my PC the folder of these two packages in zip version and load them in the relative folder of the package.
When I run the script library(mvpart) I get this message:
ERROR: 'mvpart' package was built before R 3.0.0: please reinstall it."
I try to load this library in the old version of R (version 2.15) and the message is
in install.packages (mvpart): object 'mvpart' not found".
I do not understand why it is impossible to load this package. Thanks so much.
Maybe the answer is no more relevant, but I just had to install those libraries so maybe it will still help someone later. I suggest the install from github as it will install dependencies, you need however to be able to compile the source. So here we go :
first install rtools if it is not already installed go here and follow the instruction
update/install devtools if necessary as described here
using this command, it should work now. you may be asked to update some packages, accept all
devtools::install_github("cran/mvpart")

R install package RevoScaleR

In trying to install package "RevoScaleR", I get the following error. I have tried installing this package with various versions of R but get the same error every time. Does anyone have any idea why?
install.packages("RevoScaleR")
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘RevoScaleR’ is not available (for R version 3.1.2)
Any help is appreciated.
Just to update this post,to install the RevoScaleR package you need to install Microsoft R client, see here for details:
https://www.blue-granite.com/tutorials/sql-server-r-services
R Client includes the ScaleR (rx[…]) functions in the RevoScaleR package. I don't believe this package is open source so isn't available on cran, install.packages() therefore won't work.
The RevoScaleR package is only available if you install the Microsoft R Client or if you use Microsoft RStudio Server via Azure. After you install this you don't need to do install.packages("RevoScaleR") for it is already installed.
R Studio will automatically have the R version [64-bit] C:\Program Files\Microsoft\R Client\R_SERVER under "Global options"
The link below gives more detail information about Microsoft R client. Once you install Ms R client and update the R-studio path to the R client you don't need to install 'RevoScaleR' anymore, it comes pre-installed with Microsoft R client. Read the link fore more.

I am not sure what R version you are currently using but the latest stable version is 3.1.2. If the package installation warning is telling that the package you're trying to install is not available, that basically means that the package developer has not yet made a version of the package that is compatible with the R version you're currently running.
If you really need to use this package (if your work heavily depends on it and you are on some kind of deadline) I would advise to install an earlier version of R (like 3.1.1 or 3.1) and do your work with it.
I would also suggest that you reach out to Revolution Analytics, as suggested by Andrie.
Thanks!
You just have to set the propper CRAN repos:
options("repos" = c(CRAN = "https://mran.microsoft.com/"))
and then
install.packages("RevoScaleR")
will run properly.

I am trying to install package manipulate : message = not available for r 3.1.1

windows 7 -pro
r studio 0.98.945
r 3.1.1
I am trying to install manipulate:
install.packages("manipulate").
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘manipulate’ is not available (for R version 3.1.1)
is this package not available or is something wrong in my machine or how to get it ?
thanks for all update/help
best regards, Guy Przytula
It's not on CRAN. It's usually installed as part of the RStudio install process. I'd suggest to re-install RStudio.
Another possibility is offered by the RStudio support:
1.) The easiest workaround is to just install the package manually from its location in Program Files - you can zip up the C:\Program
Files\RStudio\R\library\manipulate folder and install it using
install.packages() - this will get the manipulate package installed
and running.
If that doesn't solve your issues, you should post at the RStudio support forum.

Error in installing packages from RStudio

I have been trying to install the package "doby" from RStudio (ver 0.98.501 ) on ubuntu 13.04 but it keeps throwing the following warning and the package does not get installed.
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘doBy’ is not available (for R version 2.15.2)
I have followed all the instructions given here :
http://www.r-bloggers.com/installing-r-packages/
Can someone please suggest where I might be going wrong ?
If you are on Ubuntu, please see this README for Ubuntu from CRAN --- it will allow you to get to the current version of R (today 3.0.2, in a few days 3.0.3) with mininal effort.
Once you have a current R version, getting the doBy package (which depends on it) installed is a piece of cake too.
If however you prefer to stay with your version of R, you can manually fetch an older version of doBy from its CRAN archive. Download to, say, /tmp and run R CMD INSTALLby hand on it.
From http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/doBy/index.html, package doBy depends on R version 3.0 and above. Your R version is 2.15.2. You will need to install a later version of R, and then change the settings in Rstudio to target the updated version.
