Problems installing the 'cati' package from the CRAN archive -

I am having problems installing an archived package called 'cati' (the live package has been deleted from the CRAN repository).

Is anybody able to tell me what I am doing wrong or whether using the archived package remains possible? Many thanks.

CRAN archive url: Index of /src/contrib/Archive/cati

=====

I have tried directly through Rstudio as well as with the following code:

library("devtools")
require(devtools)
install_version("cati", version = "0.99.2", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")

I do not understand the error code I receive:

library("devtools")
require(devtools)
install_version("cati", version = "0.99.2", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")
Downloading package from url: http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/cati/cati_0.99.2.tar.gz
These packages have more recent versions available.
Which would you like to update?

It seems like you don't have xquartz installed in your system, lets start by installing that and see if that helps

You were exactly right andresrcs. After installing xquartz, the package installed just fine.

Thanks so much for your help!
