Rcmdr not available

When you go on CRAN page for Rcmdr you'll see that it depends on R > 3.5.0.

This is why, the package is not available to you - you should not find it in the table available.packages() that filters by default according to the R version. See ?available.packages about built in filter.

As you are on R version 3.4.4, you'll need to install a former version. Previous one, 2.5.0 should be fine according to the DESCRIPTION file from this version
