How to install caret package. Tried install.packages("caret") but getting error

Question

After install.packages("caret") getting below error:

Installing package into ‘...../R/win-library/3.4’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
also installing the dependencies ‘rlang’, ‘recipes’


  There are binary versions available but the source versions are later:
        binary source needs_compilation
rlang    0.3.4  0.4.0              TRUE
recipes  0.1.5  0.1.6             FALSE
caret   6.0-81 6.0-84              TRUE

I have tried and installed "rlang" package also. Its dependent on "recepies" package so again downloaded that too...

getting this message after installing this.

 :Warning in install.packages :
  package ‘recepies’ is not available (for R version 3.4.4)

I need to load caret package to be installed.

If you are using Windows, try this:

Add your library to libpaths; see this answer . After that try installing packages; see this answer :

install.packages("caret", dependencies=TRUE, type="win.binary")
