Unable to install car package - r

I am unable to install the car package using version 3.4.4 in r. I keep getting error messages:
warning in install.packages : package 'car' not available (for R version 3.4.4)
I tried using the normal function install.packages('car') and also
install.packages('car', dependencies=TRUE, repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')
but I'm still having the same error.

Try installing an old version of car that does not require R 3.5:
library(devtools)
install_version("car", version = "3.0-2", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")

Package RQuantLib is not available for R 3.5.0

Has anyone else tried to load the RQuantLib package for R 3.5.0?
I tried (which has worked before):
install.packages("drat", dependencies = TRUE)
drat::addRepo("ghrr")
install.packages("RQuantLib", type = "binary")
but get the error message:
Warning: unable to access index for repository https://ghrr.github.io/drat/bin/windows/contrib/3.5:
cannot open URL 'https://ghrr.github.io/drat/bin/windows/contrib/3.5/PACKAGES'
Warning message:
package ‘RQuantLib’ is not available (for R version 3.5.0)
You can try this:
library(devtools)
install_github("eddelbuettel/rquantlib")
Or equivalently (based on comment by Dirk Eddelbuette)
install.packages("RQuantLib", type="source")

genderdata package unavailable for R 3.2.3

When I try installing the package "genderdata" to R,
install.packages("genderdata")
I get the following error:
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘genderdata’ is not available (for R version 3.2.3)`
Is there any way around this?
I tried this in my version of R 3.1.1 and got the same error message as you. When I looked closer it also said:
package ‘genderdata’ is available as a source package but not as a binary
I searched around some more and came up with this which worked for me.
options(repos = c("http://packages.ropensci.org/", getOption("repos")))
install.packages("genderdata", repos = "http://packages.ropensci.org", type="source")
I got several warnings but it did install and can be loaded with
library(genderdata)
Try installing from a source that doesn't limit you based on your R version with devtools and github.
install.packages('devtools')
library(devtools)
install_github("ropensci/genderdata")
library(genderdata)

Installing text mining package in R on Linux

I am using R version(3.0.1) on Linux Mint 16
When I tried downloading the tm package using
install.packages("tm")
it gives me an error saying:
package ‘tm’ is not available (for R version 3.0.1)
How can I possibly fix this?
cran page http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tm/index.html says : R (≥ 3.1.0).
Download the applicable old version here and then install from source:
install.packages(file_name_and_path, repos = NULL, type="source")
