I need to install the package devtools in R on my mac. The R version is 3.2.3.
It gives an error saying
Warning in install.packages :
download had nonzero exit status
Warning in install.packages :
download of package ‘curl’ failed
Other posts addressing similar issues provide solutions to Linux (with the apt-get command, etc) but doesn't seem to have a Mac solution. Highly appreciate if someone with insight can offer some guide here.
The problem pertains to the download, have a look at this discussion. You can consider downloading the package first and installing a package from a local zip file.
install.packages("local_package_file", repos = NULL)
or more specifically:
install.packages("devtools.zip", repos = NULL, type = "source")
as shown on the devtools # GitHub.
You didn't mentioned, but I understand that you have the Xcode installed as well. Alternatively, it could be informative to check if your R compiler has no problems with connecting to the Internet, you can use the code: is.character(getURL("www.google.com")).

So I am going to do some survivalsvm process and I need the mlr3extralearners package from GitHub. When I tried to install it locally using the tar.gz file, it said
Execution halted
Warning in install.packages: installation of package had non-zero exit status
I also tried to use the zip file, and it said
install.packages("C:/Users/Ivan/Downloads/mlr3extralearners-0.5.49.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary", lib="C:/R-4.2.1/library")
then nothing happened.
I also tried using devtools::install_github("mlr-org/mlr3extralearners"), but the output was the same when I used the tar.gz file. When I checked in my library, I already have the mlr3extralearners package, but when I call it using library(mlr3extralearners), it does not work. Does anyone know how to solve this? Any help is appreciated.

I believe this should work for you:
Install the latest version of this package by entering the following in R:
install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("mlr-org/mlr3extralearners")
My first post in an early programming career - any help very welcome.
I am studying R, and using a book called R in Nutshell (O'Reilly). The book is supported by a package that was previously available on CRAN. The package on CRAN has been archived - it is still there though as nutshell_2.0.tar.gz.
I am running MacOS Catalina, R version 3.2.1.(after downgrading from 4.02 to try and solve this issue , without success), and RStudio version 1.3.1093.
When I try to install the package into R via RStudio I have this experience:
packageurl <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/nutshell/nutshell_2.0.tar.gz
install.packages(packageurl,contriburl=NULL,type="source")
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/nutshell/nutshell_2.0.tar.gz’ is not available (for R version 3.2.1)
I have a similar experience if I download the tar.gz file and try to import it directly under Tools/Install Packages.
I am able to install other packages on CRAN successfully.
Many thanks
Up front, I'm doing this on windows and not on macos, but the packages here have no compiled code so there should be few if any differences. Also, I tested on R-4.0.2; I don't think this will be a problem, because these packages appear to have been last-updated in 2012, so if they install on my 4.0.2, then they are likely to work on every version of R since then (including your 4+ year-old R-3.2).
download.file("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/nutshell.audioscrobbler/nutshell.audioscrobbler_1.0.tar.gz", "nutshell.audioscrobbler_1.0.tar.gz")
download.file("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/nutshell.bbdb/nutshell.bbdb_1.0.tar.gz", "nutshell.bbdb_1.0.tar.gz")
download.file("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/nutshell/nutshell_2.0.tar.gz", "nutshell_2.0.tar.gz")
install.packages("nutshell.audioscrobbler_1.0.tar.gz", repos = NULL)
install.packages("nutshell.bbdb_1.0.tar.gz", repos = NULL)
install.packages("nutshell_2.0.tar.gz", repos = NULL)
I tried reproducing installation from archive. I got error that dependencies of this package are not available.
ERROR: dependencies 'nutshell.bbdb', 'nutshell.audioscrobbler' are not available for package 'nutshell'
* removing 'C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.2/library/nutshell'
Warning in install.packages :

Did you get the same error? If yes, then did you try to install them and try again?
As per the accepted answer, the solution was to install the missing dependent packages first, then the Nutshell package.
I was then able to update to R4.02
audioscrobbler_1.0.tar.gz
nutshell.bbdb_1.0.tar.gz
nutshell_2.0.tar.gz
I am failing to read in the panelr package from the library. I used the package utilising its wbm() function on some panel data earlier this year and I have even tried to install it and I get this message: Warning in install.packages : package ‘panelr’ is not available (for R version 3.6.3).
Has the package been removed? Kindly assist on how I can install it or the new version of it.
If we want a specific version, use the versions package
install.packages('versions')
Then use
library(versions)
install.versions('panelr', '0.7.3')
If that version is not available in the MRAN repo, check the available versions with
available.versions('panelr')
If there are no versions available, then it returns an error. In that case, an option is to download the archived tar file from https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/panelr/ and then use install.packages to with source = TRUE
install.packages('path/to/.../...tar.gz', source = TRUE, repos = NULL)
Regarding your other question: Yes, it seems as it has been removed.
This is the code I have been running: (as suggested)
install.packages (c("devtools", "RcppArmadillo", "CompQuadForm", "doMC",
"foreach", "Matrix", "BiocManager", "testthat"),
repos = "http://cran.r-project.org/")
BiocManager::install(c("SeqArray", "SeqVarTools"))
devtools::install_github("hanchenphd/GMMAT")
I receive the subsequent messages in my console:
Package which is only available in source form, and may need
compilation of C/C++/Fortran: ‘GMMAT’ Do you want to attempt to
install these from sources? (Yes/no/cancel)
Enter: YES
And then:
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘GMMAT’
* removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.6/Resources/library/GMMAT’**
I have attempted to uninstall and re-install R-Studio and R-console, have updated the platforms, installed any necessary packages for R/Macbook, etc. and still cannot seem to fix this issue. Currently using a Macbook so domc is not the issue.
Any help you guys could provide would be great!
I am somewhat new to R, and I thought I understood how to install packages from CRAN mirrors and from source files, but now I am stumped. I currently am using R 2.10.0 on a Windows 7 32-bit machine.
I want to try to use the RGoogleAnalytics package found here and am trying to follow the instructions. They instruct us to install both RCurl and the XML packages from omegahat. For example,
install.packages("RCurl", repos = "http://www.omegahat.org/R")
however this does not work, as I get the following error:
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
package ‘RCurl’ is not available
When I try this instead:
install.packages("RCurl", repos = "http://www.omegahat.org/R", type="source")
I get the following error after the file downloads. I previously had version 1.0 and that is restored.

Without going into details, I haven't been able to use the RGoogleAnalytics package as I get the same error that is found in this post. I simply am trying to exhaust every possible option to get around the error.
Any help or insight you can provide will be greatly appreciated!
The RCurl project page on CRAN says the Windows binary is not available. The ReadMe points you to a page maintained by Professor Ripley, where he provides binaries of RCurl and several other packages that have special build needs on Windows. However, he only provides them for the most recent major revision of R, so you would need to upgrade to R-2.12.0 to install them from his page.
If you want to build packages from source on Windows, you need to install Rtools first. It looks like you haven't done that. Even if you had them installed, it will still require extra steps to build RCurl on Windows... else the Windows binary would already be on CRAN.
Your best bet is probably to upgrade R and install RCurl from Prof. Ripley's page.
You are probably missing the components to build packages under Windows:

According to RCurl FAQ, either
curl-config is not found in your path
or
curl-config and related devlopment libraries (libcurl) are not installed.
