安装ggp​​lot2时出错

Question

I was trying to run a simple code on ggplot2 and got the following error:

source("u1.txt")
Error in library(ggplot2) : there is no package called ‘ggplot2’

Answer 1

I had the same error running ggplot this evening, essentially you need to try to install all the dependencies that failed. For me it was "scales", then "munsell" and then finally (the actual problem) "colorspace" which hadn't be updated since I upgraded to 3.1.1. In your case, it looks like you want to first try installing "foreign" and then try ggplot2 again. Keep loading dependencies that error manually until you find the real problem.

Answer 2

You can specify that the install.packages() call also install all dependent packages:

if(!require(ggplot2)) install.packages('dplyr',dependencies = TRUE)

the above code first checks to see if ggplot2 package is loaded, if not it tries to load the apckage. If it cannot load the package, it then tries to install the package and all of package its dependencies.

Answer 3

With RTools installed, I got this to work:

install.packages("ggplot2", type="source",dependencies = TRUE)

Compiled a few packages...

Make sure your PATH is updated to point to RTools properly, ie includes

c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin

at the front.

I am using Rtools32.exe
