Cannot install "flexdashboard package" - r

I tried installing the flexdashboard package but an error message came up:
Here is the code:
devtools::install_github("rstudio/flexdashboard")
Error Message:

It seems to be crashing because it tries to update the digest package upon which it depends, and fails to remove it because it's in use.
Close R and then navigate to C:/Users/Nicholas/Documents/R/win-library/3.2 and delete the digest folder. Then, launch R and try the install again.

Problems Installing choroplethrZip: "Command failed (1)"

So I have been hitting my head against the wall for a few days now trying to understand why my machine will not load choroplethrZip. I have tried the recommended installation pathway (with devtools and github) but I keep receiving the error message below:
#install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)

I have tried restarting r and running the code immediately, as well as restarting the computer itself. I have also tried to read the package zip file into R directly but that has not worked either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Buried within the error message is this:
namespace 'choroplethr' 2.2.0 is being loaded, but >= 3.3.0 is required
And in fact, if you look at the DESCRIPTION page of choroplethrZip you will see that it imports "choroplethr (>= 3.3.0)".
Since you only have version 2.2.0 installed, I recommend typing:
update.packages()
which will update all your packages. Then try installing and loading choroplethrZip again.

Error when installing rmarkdown

I tried installing R markdown in my R studio, but it keeps looping to ask me to install the package. The R version on my R studio was version 1.1, and after I installed the new R Version, installing the R Markdown package was a success. Hopefully this could help.

devtools::install_git fails to install dependencies of packages in Depends or Imports

I have a package that depends on the package extrafont. If extrafont and its dependency Rttf2pt1 aren't present on the user's system, installation of my package fails. I have extrafont as "Depends" in my package's DESCRIPTION file. When I run devtools::install_git() to install my package from a URL, the output terminates with:
** preparing package for lazy loading
Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]) :
there is no package called 'Rttf2pt1'
Error : package 'extrafont' could not be loaded
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'tntpr'
* removing 'C:/Users/SFirke/Documents/R/win-library/3.3/tntpr'
Looks like extrafont installs okay, but doesn't work because Rttf2pt1 is missing. When I add Rttf2pt1 to the Depends list in my DESCRIPTION file, then the installation succeeds, installing both extrafont and Rttf2pt1 and my package.
Why do I need to put Rttf2pt1 in my Depends list? It's present on the "Imports" list in the DESCRIPTION file from the extrafont package:
Depends:
R (>= 2.15)
Imports:
extrafontdb,
grDevices,
utils,
Rttf2pt1
Additional info
When I run devtools::install_git("https://myurl.com/tntpr.git", dependencies = TRUE), I get the following output. It installs dplyr from GitHub, then extrafonts, then fails loading my package:

The problem: There are issues specific to Windows where both devtools 1.12.0 (the current CRAN version) and the current development version of devtools 1.12.0.9000 have trouble with nested / recursive dependencies (i.e., say your package A depends on package B which depends on package C; devtools functions install_*(A) will not install C).
See this comment re: the development version and the top parts of the thread that note problems with the CRAN version as well and this package's workaround of manually specifying sub-dependencies to install.
Solution: I installed an old version of devtools 1.11.1 (released April 2016), which works for my install_git() call above even when there are dependencies missing that need to be installed.
install.packages("devtools") # from CRAN
devtools::install_version("devtools", version = "1.11.1", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org") # get the old version
Then restart R and use devtools as intended.

Github Quandl not able to install

You missed a Depends::
there is no package called 'stringi'
But Quandl is on CRAN, so why don't you do install.packages("Quandl") ?

R error message when calling libraries and installing packages

I started to get some error message in R when calling libraries that usually work very well. I decided to re-install the packages that were concerned, and also ran into some error..
Any idea what's going on? I'm about to throw my computer thru the window..

Thanks to Joran, installing from CRAN actually solved the issue.
install.packages("plyr")
