Can't seem to install a package

[Jporter]

Hi there,

I am trying to install a package but when I do I get this message:

"Warning in install.packages :
package ‘Fitabase_Data_2021:11:08 4.12.16-5.12.16’ is not available for this version of R

A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere,
see the ideas at
R Installation and Administration"

What I do is I first is upload the file to the server as a zip file, i then type 'install.packages("Fitabase_Data_2021:11:08 4.12.16-5.12.16")' and then that message appears.

I have tried all different versions on R. Any idea why this is happening and how to fix it?

'install.packages("Fitabase_Data_2021:11:08 4.12.16-5.12.16")'

That is not a package. It looks like you are trying to read a file by loading it as a pacakge.

Try unzipping the file, then reading it in. Is it a csv file? Look up how to read those in R.
