Error in installing R package "AppliedPredictiveModeling"

Question

I am learning ML from Applied Predictive Modeling book, while installing AppliedPredictiveModeling package I am getting following error

install.packages("AppliedPredictiveModeling")

Package LibPath Version Priority Depends Imports LinkingTo Suggests Enhances License License_is_FOSS License_restricts_use OS_type Archs MD5sum NeedsCompilation Built

I tried looking on Google and SO to resolve this but was unable to find any solution. Please tell me how to resolve this, I have never encountered this error before. I use RStudio on Windows 7.

Answer 1

I found that I was generating this error message when I mistakenly typed

installed.packages("Hmisc")

Instead of the (correct)

install.packages("Hmisc")

Answer 2

由于没有人能够在这个问题上帮助我，我想这可能不是一个常见问题，但我最终通过离线安装软件包解决了这个问题。

Answer 3

You are mistyping install.packages as installed.packages . That's all. Just use the correct install.packages() function.

Answer 4

I encountered the same error when attempting to install the car package using

install.packages("car")

The response / error message I got was:

Package LibPath Version Priority Depends Imports LinkingTo Suggests Enhances License License_is_FOSS License_restricts_use OS_type Archs MD5sum NeedsCompilation Built

I was in the middle of an R session (RStudio, on Windows 10) when I first attempted to install it.

I fixed it by closing RStudio, and then re-running

install.packages("car")

as the first command I ran upon reopening RStudio.

Perhaps not a definitive solution, but thought it might help others.

Answer 5

Restarting my computer worked for me.

I was having the same issue with:

install.packages('rpart.plot')

Just restarting Rstudio did not work.

Answer 6

Try setting the "dependencies" method to TRUE. That helped me when installing it.
