Install Caret Package Unsuccessfully

Session 1 - install caret package
I have tried to install Caret package under RStudio for several times without success. I tried manually install caret from local drive without success. This is the message below after installed caret install.packages("caret", dependencies = c("Depends", "Suggests")) and library(caret):

"Loading required package: lattice

Loading required package: ggplot2

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘caret’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):

there is no package called ‘recipes’

In addition: Warning messages:

1: package ‘caret’ was built under R version 3.4.4

2: package ‘lattice’ was built under R version 3.4.4

Session 2- install recipes for caret package
Then, i installed recipes. install.packages("recipes", dependencies = c("Depends", "Suggests")), but i received a lot of error messages. These are some examples:
ERROR: dependency 'xfun' is not available for package 'servr'
ERROR: dependency 'xfun' is not available for package 'tufte'
ERROR: dependency 'callr' is not available for package 'webshot'

There are more than 10 of these error messages after i installed recipes package.

Question is: what should i do to be able to successfully install "caret" package? I need to use findCorrelation from caret package. however, i can't install caret package successfully. Please help me out.

Thank you.

I recommend you to update your R version (latest release is 4.0.0), then update your packages with update.packages(ask=FALSE, checkBuilt=TRUE) and try to install caret again with dependencies = TRUE
