Hello again, I did not expect the browser to automatically extract, so I changed the Safari setting and it downloaded as a “gz” file.
It is clear now that R is finding the package but I get a different error as follows: > install.packages("polycor_0.7-8.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source") ERROR: dependency ‘mvtnorm’ is not available for package ‘polycor’ * removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/library/polycor’ Warning message: In install.packages("polycor_0.7-8.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source") : installation of package ‘polycor_0.7-8.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status I get the same error when I try Rui’s way of accessing the file. Suggestions online are along the lines of installing the dependencies separately, but I am not sure how to go about separating the file into its dependencies? Thank you so much!
