packages for Rstudio 4.0.2

General
1

I have installed the new version of Rstudio, but I realized there are a lot of packages not available for the new version, what I am supposed to do?

2

R 4.0.2 is the current version of the R language. RStudio is a graphical user interface to R. Packages available to R are available to RStudio.

The message

> install.packages("foo")
Installing package into ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning message:
package ‘foo’ is not available (for R version 4.0.0)

can be due to several things:

    • No quotes around package name
    • Incorrectly selected repository name
    • Connectivity, proxy, firewall settings
    • System write permissions

Hi, Richard

thank you for your reply, I supposed to write R not Rstudio. anyway, I have tried to install an old version of R but still have the same issue for other packages, in which I found the packages that was not available for the newest version, but I can not install the packages that are only available for the newest version, I am new in R programming, please guide me through this problem, now I am using the R version 4.0.0, I wanted to install colorRamp2 package, this is what the warning showed: package ‘colorRamp2’ is not available (for R version 4.0.0)

Are you using

install.packages("the_name") # quotation marks

What operating system are you on?

Do you connect to the internet through a managed service, such as a university account?

Do you have system write permissions on your computer?

You are getting that message because colorRamp2 is not an R package, very likely it's a function from the circlize package.
