Follow installation instructions from here:

RGtk2.dll can't be found/loaded
#3

Thank you very much for your prompt response. Can we use RQDA through Rstudio.

Regards

#4

Sorry but I don't understand what you mean, RStudio is an IDE for the R programming language so if you can install the R package, you can use it trought RStudio.

#5

I am not able to install RQDA. It says the package is not available.

Thanks

#6

It is not available on CRAN, to install it you have to follow the instructions on the package repository (the link I already gave you).

#7

Thanks again. There was no instruction for windows/I am not able to follow it properly. Can you please help me in the installation process. It will be of great help. I can provide you my remote desktop.

Regards

Not tested on Windows but should work. Works for Ubuntu 20.10.

install.packages("devtools") ## install it only if you haven't done it yet
require(devtools)
devtools::install_github("Ronggui/RQDA")

It provides links to a portable version, you just have to decompress the file on your package library.

Sorry but I don't do tech support, Do you realize this is not free customer service right?

#11

Yes, the portable version is working fine.
Thank you

#12

Type in 1, I think RCDA may need a couple of widgets

Good luck, it seems okay so far.

This seems to mean you are missing something at Windows level but I cannot help. I have not used Windows in many years.

#15

Sincerely appreciate any help in the RGtk2.dll installation.

Thank you

#16

What happened to "the portable version is working fine." ?

#17

Yes. It is working fine. However, if we call the package through R-studio then it would be great.

Thank you
