How can i properly install the package with all it's dependencies?
I just had the same problem. I looked where R was looking from (https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/3.5/) and downloaded the 'quadprog' zip file from there. Then, in R or Rstudio, you go to install packages from "package archive file". It worked for me, I hope it does for you.
There is a new version of Quadprog: 1.5-7 that can install on R above 3.1:https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/quadprog/index.html
That solved it for me.

Issue with installing R Shiny

I'm using Version 1.1.453 of RStudio. I'm receiving an error when trying to install R Shiny using the following code (note: I've tried several different mirrors).

Here's the error message I'm getting. Any sense of what's going on?

install.package() on RStudio on Amazon EC2 doesn't work. Package not available for R version 3.3.3

I've seen this: How should I deal with "package 'xxx' is not available (for R version x.y.z)" warning?
and been through the list. No luck. I've also navigated via SSH to my library to see if there was some LOCK file or corrupt install. There is nothing there.
I literally just installed RStudio on Amazon EC2 and can't install the any new packages.
I've done it this way: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/running-r-on-aws/
I've also used Ubuntu with Louis Anslett's AMI: http://www.louisaslett.com/RStudio_AMI/
I get the same problem in both. I have downloaded them manually and installed the tar.gz files from the temp directory. The CRAN repository seems to be fine because install.packages() downloads the tar.gz to /tmp/Rtmp2Rh9Zr/downloaded_packages/ just fine, but then the actual install process fails.
When I run install.packages("haven") for instance, it says
> install.packages("haven")

On my EC2 instance, I ran into the same problems when trying to install packages on RStudio, e.g., car, that involve RAM-intensive compilations. This could be fixed by adding swap space as described here

What am I doing wrong? How do I Install MLR?
You have an outdated version of R. Normally dplyr and your other dependencies would be automatically installed, but in this case they are labelled as not working with older versions of R, so throw an error.
You have version 3.0.2, which is out of date. As of now the current version is 3.2.1. You should upgrade (you don't have the most up to date version of r-base, repos are often behind - try getting the binary from here).
If you don't want to update you can use the methods described in answers to this question to install older versions of the packages which may be compatible with your version - install older version of R package.
