I am getting the following error when trying to install ggplot2:
> install.packages("ggplot2")
Installing package(s) into ‘/home/dodo/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.13’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :

I am running Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric).
Any help is appreciated.
You need R (>= 2.14.0) for this version.
So please go and see the instructions at CRAN to upgrade on Ubuntu to the current R and once you have R 2.14.2 up and running (which is a matter of four or five commands, thanks to the magic of apt-get and friends, upgrade to the current ggplot2.
ggplot2-0.9.0 has an explicit dependency on R >= 2.14 (and an implicit one of R >= 2.14.1). Thus it can not be installed in R version 2.13.1. Perhaps you can get the previous version (0.8.9) from the archives and install that.
You need to install a version that is appropriate to your old version of R or you need to upgrade. To go the first route, you should find a version of ggplot2 in the Archives and then install from source (which is I believe the default for Linux). Perhaps try the UCLA CRAN mirror:
http://cran.stat.ucla.edu/src/contrib/Archive/ggplot2/ggplot2_0.8.9.tar.gz

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 The package on CRAN has been archived - it is still there though as nutshell_2.0.tar.gz.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).

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'

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 keep getting the same error

package ‘mnormt’ is not available (for R version 3.6.3)

any help is highly appreciated,

On Ubuntu Linux I cannot get R to update to the latest version (>4.0 at the time of writing), so, like Dirk suggests I have to install an older version of the package, one compatible with the version of R I am running.
My R version is 3.6.3, released feb 2020
I go to the mnormt page and click on "old sources" https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/mnormt/
I see that version 1.5-6 is the most recent release which is prior to my version of R
Following these pages: "Installing older versions of packages" https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/219949047-Installing-older-versions-of-packages I copy the relevant url into this code and run it in R
packageurl <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/mnormt/mnormt_1.5-6.tar.gz"
install.packages(packageurl, repos=NULL, type="source")
Which fixes my problem installing mnormt and also allows packages which depend on it to be installed in the standard way (as far as I tested it)
The current version of mnormt depends on a the current version of R; you chose to remain a version behind.
So just install the previous version of mnormt, for example via
cd /tmp
wget https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/mnormt/mnormt_1.5-7.tar.gz
R CMD INSTALL mnormt_1.5-7.tar.gz
Prefix that last INSTALL command with sudo, or change the permission/group membership of /usr/local/lib/R/site-library, if R tells you it cannot write there.
Once mnormt is installed, proceed with the installation of phytools.
Try to add the tag version to install command, for example: devtools::install_github('cran/mnormt#R-3.0.3')
Check what version you need and replace the tag after the '#'.
Since updating R to 3.1 having trouble installing automap package on a mac.
> install.packages("automap")
package ‘automap’ is available as a source package but not as a binary
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘automap’ is not available (for R version 3.1.0)
Cannot workout how to install from source - can anyone help please ?
Update: Ok I got this to install eventually by downloading the source and using R CMD INSTALL at the command line. But I had to manually install gstat and spacetime this way first. When in Rstudio and using the package install tool via the menu - none of these packages come up in the list of packages on CRAN - why is this happening ? I did not have to do all this in R 2.15 that I can recall. Any ideas anyone ?
I am using R version 3.0.3.
I would like to install the package "imputation". I would like to re-run an analysis I used last year in R version 3.0.2.
I also have a new computer so I am re-installing my packages. I would like to install the package "imputation".
install.packages("imputation")
However, I received the following error:
Installing package into ‘\\oxdc/userdata/jolyon.faria/Documents/R/win-library/3.0’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘imputation’ is not available (for R version 3.0.3)
How can I work around this problem? I thought I could perhaps run two versions of R on the same computer but this may throw up its own problems.
Always check CRAN for package problems:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/imputation/
You might be able to get it working on 3.0.3 or later by installing from source via the source archive.
Or contact the maintainer and ask them if they can fix the problem that caused the removal from CRAN.
I have been trying to install the package "doby" from RStudio (ver 0.98.501 ) on ubuntu 13.04 but it keeps throwing the following warning and the package does not get installed.
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘doBy’ is not available (for R version 2.15.2)
I have followed all the instructions given here :
http://www.r-bloggers.com/installing-r-packages/
Can someone please suggest where I might be going wrong ?
If you are on Ubuntu, please see this README for Ubuntu from CRAN --- it will allow you to get to the current version of R (today 3.0.2, in a few days 3.0.3) with mininal effort.
Once you have a current R version, getting the doBy package (which depends on it) installed is a piece of cake too.
If however you prefer to stay with your version of R, you can manually fetch an older version of doBy from its CRAN archive. Download to, say, /tmp and run R CMD INSTALLby hand on it.
From http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/doBy/index.html, package doBy depends on R version 3.0 and above. Your R version is 2.15.2. You will need to install a later version of R, and then change the settings in Rstudio to target the updated version.
