Struggling to use ggplot2 functions (ggseasonplot, ggAcf, autoplot)

General
1

I am trying to use the functions ggseasonplot, ggAcf, and autoplot to visualize the R dataset USAccDeaths, but nothing is working the way I expect. I installed and loaded the ggplot2 library, but it doesn't allow me to use any of the functions I need. Autoplot runs, but I get the error "Objects of type ts not supported by autoplot.". GGseasonplot and ggAcf aren't even options, and when I try to run them I get the error "could not find function "ggseasonplot"". Same error for ggAcf.
I tried loading ggfortify, which another post suggested might work to solve the autoplot error, but I get the error "package or namespace load failed for ‘ggfortify’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
there is no package called ‘stringr’
In addition: Warning message:
package ‘ggfortify’ was built under R version 4.0.5"

Any help at all would be highly appreciated.

I have never used the function ggseasonplot or ggAcf but they are part of the forecast package. You will have to install that, if you haven't already, and then run library(forecast). The functions will then be available.

I did try to use the forecast package as well. I installed it, but got the error, "installation of package forecast had non-zero exit status". Then when I try to load it using library(forecast), I get the error "there is no package called forecast"

Can you share the complete console output you get when you run the install command?

install.packages("forecast")

Please post all of the output the results from running install.packages("forecast"). Place a line with three back ticks just before and after the pasted output, like this
```
output of install.packages()
```

also installing the dependencies ‘tseries’, ‘urca’, ‘RcppArmadillo’


  There are binary versions available but the source
  versions are later:
                  binary     source needs_compilation
tseries          0.10-50    0.10-52              TRUE
urca               1.3-0      1.3-3              TRUE
RcppArmadillo 0.11.0.0.0 0.11.4.0.1              TRUE
forecast            8.16       8.18              TRUE

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

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.
