Unable to download rcompanion onto Rstudio (Version 1.1.463)

Every time I try to download rcompanion, I get this error:

install.packages("rcompanion")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/TEMP.ADMSU/Documents/R/win-library/3.5’

Warning in install.packages :

It seems that it has been downloaded and installed.
Have tried loading the library?

library(rcompanion)

You are using R version 3.5.2

You need to update to 3.5.3. That's all. If you are in Windows use 'installr' package to easily update you R version.

I tried that after I downloaded it and it said this :

library(rcompanion)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘rcompanion’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
there is no package called ‘DescTools’
In addition: Warning message:
package ‘rcompanion’ was built under R version 3.5.3

My friend, you should install 'DescTools'. R is asking you for that.

install.packages('DescTools', dependencies = TRUE)

#5

I tried that also. Yet, when I try to install it, R shows me this

install.packages('DescTools', dependencies = TRUE)
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/TEMP.ADMSU/Documents/R/win-library/3.5’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘DescTools’ is not available (for R version 3.5.2)

#7

Actually, DescTools requires R >= 3.6 so it would be better if you update to the latest version 3.6.3
