Installation problem of gMatrix

General
1

I want to install gMatrix package.
I would be grateful if someone could help me.

Warning message:
package ‘gMatrix’ is not available (for R version 3.6.3)

That package is no longer on CRAN, you can try to install it from GitHub, follow instructions on the GitHub repo.

You are missing a system dependency, on what operating system are you?

HI,

Actually I want to install qqman and gMatrix package.

qqman package dependency is >=R 3.5 and gMatrix package dependency is below 3.5 R version...

If I install R 3.4 version then I am able to install gMatrix package but not qqman package..
and if I install R 3.6 version then I am able to install qqman packages but not gMatrix package....

I want to install both packages ....

if possible please tell me the solution.

HI,

I am on Ubuntu 18.04.

You are missing the CUDA drivers, this is not an R package dependency, this is a system dependency. Here is a guide I found to install the Nvidia CUDA drivers on Ubuntu 18

How to install system dependencies....

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

I already gave you a link to a guide on how to install the driver, try to follow it. This is not R related so being more detailed than that would be off-topic.
