Problem with using "car" package

General
1

I'm having a problem with my "car" package in that it gives me this error message when i try to load:

install.packages("car")
library(car)

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘car’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
there is no package called ‘zip’

I have the latest version of R . I am using a Mac OS version 10.13.2. Im new to R and these forums so sorry if this is common knowledge or my formatting is wrong. Thanks in advance

Embarrassing. I didn't have xcode installed and figured it out literally minutes after I posted this after struggling for a day. Hope this helps some other person who is not good with computers

No it's not embarrassing, I've done it loads. Sometimes it's not until you write out the problem that you end up solving it. I can see it says no package called 'Zip' - I usually check I don't need to upgrade anything and load any additional packages it mentions that I don't have. but you solved it anyway :slight_smile:

Thanks. It worked perfectly on my university library computers but of course when I tried it on my home computer it gave problems :see_no_evil:. It's working now though and thanks for the encouraging reply :grinning:
