Newwww · March 13, 2021, 3:18pm

Hi guys, I'm trying to install the package "fpp2", but this error message keeps appearing. Can anyone please help me see what to do, thank you all !!!

> install.packages("fpp2")
also installing the dependency ‘forecast’


  There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
         binary source needs_compilation
forecast   8.13   8.14              TRUE

Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation? (Yes/no/cancel) Yes

Your are missing the Fortran compiler in your system

The easiest solution would be to answer "no" to this question, you would get a precompiled binary version that is a little older but much easier to install.
If you need to install the latest version from source, then you need to install Xcode in your system (not in R) and the recommended development tools for macOS systems.

Thank you for your reply. But it’s really weird. I didn’t do anything. I just turned off R, went for a cup of coffee, and came back to continue on learning how to use R. When I turned on R again, I tried this same command one more time. This package was successfully installed. So i'm really confused, "turn it off and reopen it" is also a way to solve the problem in R?
