Hello I am a beginner and trying to install ggplot2 in R 4.0.0. Received these errors...

Warning in install.packages :
package ‘install.packages(ggplot2)’ is not available (for R version 4.0.0)

Is there a new name? Already built in the new version?
Thanks for your help.

You are duplicating the command, you are supposed to simply type

install.packages("ggplot2")
