Missing Package

Greetings, I work for a nonprofit and hired a contractor to help us process some data. She sent me her code and I downloaded RStudio.

She used a package called noncensus. It seems to be discontinued. I tried downloading the archived package and installing it and got this message...

https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/Rtools/
Installing package into ‘\ABIDESBS1/RedirectedFolders/Shawn/My Documents/R/win-library/3.6’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
'\ABIDESBS1\RedirectedFolders\shawn\My Documents'
CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory.

  • installing source package 'noncensus' ...

    Error in findpack(package, lib.loc) :

    Calls: -> findpack

    ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'noncensus'
  • removing '\ABIDESBS1/RedirectedFolders/Shawn/My Documents/R/win-library/3.6/noncensus'
    Warning in install.packages :

I know very little about R and RStudio so any help you could provide would be great.

Thanks,
Shawn

Is this path on a network drive? R very often has problems working with network drives, if that is the case then try installing into a local folder.
