Library(car) no package found

General

I know this used to work, because I have done this same analysis before with trial and preliminary data. When I try it now I get this message:

library(car)
Error in library(car) : there is no package called ‘car’

The package should already be installed because like I said I have used it before. what can I do to fix this problem? Thanks guys!

Have you updated R recently? If you are on Windows different versions of R have different .libPaths()
Anyways, try reinstalling the package

install.packages("car")

I tried reinstalling car, and it said I need Rtools which I also donwloaded. Now when I go:
install.packages("car")
I get a bunch of stuff pop in my console pasted below. I don't think the package is actually installing though as I still cannot get package to work, actually after the installing process I cannot get any of the functions to work. I am desperate to get something to work, I really need to get these stats completed ASAP.

install.packages("car")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/Ashley/R/win-library/3.6’

There is a binary version available but the source version is later:

Could you share the whole error message? So far you are just showing normal installation messages.

I got it figured out. I need to install Rtools then install Datacar and then install car. It works now, and I was able to complete the analysis. I hope this eventually helps someone else too.
