sentiment package installation failed from local directory

Question

utils ::: menuInstallLocal（）软件包'sentiment'已成功解压，并且MD5对检查的库进行了总计（情感）错误：软件包'sentiment'是在R 3.0.0之前构建的：请重新安装

Answer 1

You installed the very latest build of R (3.0.0). The package sentiment is build for R version 2.14.0 and removed in later versions.

Do you work on a Linux Machine? You should be able to install R 2.14.* with the following shell command:

sudo apt-get install r-base-core=2.14.1-1

Maybe you have to install other packages first, like these:

apt-get install r-recommended=2.14.1-1

apt-get install r-base=2.14.1-1

Then you should be able to install the package sentiment.

But maybe you should look for another package in R 3.0.0 that has the same functionality as sentiment...
