Cannot Install RSConnect Package in RStudio on Mac - r

I am unable to install the RSConnect package in RStudio with R 3.1.2 on OS X El Capitan via:
install.packages('rsconnect')
It's telling me that:
package ‘rsconnect’ is available as a source package but not as a binary
package ‘rsconnect’ is not available (for R version 3.1.2)
Is there another way to install this package? The Shiny documentation is a little vague on this subject.

Try install.packages("rsconnect", type = "source")

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")

Install Rtools on R version 3.0.2

I've installed devtools for R, but when I call the library with:
library(devtools)
I get the following output:
WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages, but is not currently installed.
Please download and install Rtools 3.1 from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/ and then run find_rtools().
So I executed the following code:
install.packages("Rtools", repos = "http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/")
And I get the following output:
Installing package into ‘C:~/Documents/R/win-library/3.0’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning: unable to access index for repository http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/bin/windows/contrib/3.0
Warning message:
package ‘Rtools’ is not available (for R version 3.0.2)
I would appreciate any help that's out there to get Rtools onto my machine so I can call the devtools library. Thank you!
Rtools is not a package. See here: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/

Installing Rcpp package in R 2.15.0

I have a problem installing "Rcpp" package in R. The install command have worked for all packages but not for this one. The R error is :
package ‘Rcpp’ is not available (for R version 2.15.0)
I am using windows Vista.Please help.
As can be seen on the CRAN status page for Rcpp, it now depends on R (>= 2.15.1).
So you either update R from 2.15.0 to 2.15.1 (which is not a bad idea), or you can try to install an older Rcpp version such as 0.9.10 which will work with R 2.15.0.

unable to install quadprog package on R Version 2.13.0 on mac

I am unable to install quadprog package on R Version 2.13.0 on mac
install.packages("quadprog", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
package ‘quadprog’ is not available (for R version 2.13.0)

Simply enough, quadprog isn't hosted on r-forge. Why are you trying to use r-forge instead of CRAN?
Perhaps you are thinking of Rquadprog? It is hosted on r-forge. On a Mac you will need to use the type="source" argument to install.packages for anything on r-forge, and you may need to install Xcode if the package is not just pure R code.
