So the error you get when trying to install the plotrix package says:
Error in install.packages(plotrix) : object 'plotrix' not found
So install.packages thinks that you provided an R object as an argument. But
the object cannot be founded.
Did you then read ?install.packages to see what types of argument you need to
provide to that function?
install.packages(pkgs, lib, repos = getOption("repos"),
contriburl = contrib.url(repos, type),
method, available = NULL, destdir = NULL,
dependencies = NA, type = getOption("pkgType"),
configure.args = getOption("configure.args"),
configure.vars = getOption("configure.vars"),
clean = FALSE, Ncpus = getOption("Ncpus", 1L),
verbose = getOption("verbose"),
libs_only = FALSE, INSTALL_opts, quiet = FALSE,
keep_outputs = FALSE, ...)
Arguments:
pkgs: character vector of the names of packages whose current
versions should be downloaded from the repositories.
So the first argument to install.packages() should be a string or a vector of
strings. In the first case you install one package, in the latter you install a
list of packages.
So you will probably get plotrix installed if you do
install.packages("plotrix")
Or
install.packages('plotrix')
