Hi, I am having trouble installing a previous version of a package, and multiple version of the package in R 2.12 or 2.15. I have download the tar.gz packages from the CRAN archive, and created an folder holding all the files.install.packages("changepoint_0.3.tar.gz", lib="~/Rtools/dir/of/pkgs/", repos=NULL, dependencies=FALSE, contriburl="~/Rtools/dir/of/pkgs/changepoint_0.3.tar.gz", installWithVers= TRUE)
installWithVers was made obsolete years ago. And you really do not want to install to the directory containing the tarballs.
I have received several different errors, depending on which version of R I am using Version 2.12:
This list does not support ancient versions of R (and as the posting guide says, there was no '2.12'). Please update as you were asked to do before posting.
warning: unable to access index for repository 'lib = "~/Documents/Rtools/dir/of/pkgs/"' is not writable
Whatever instructions you are following are misleading you. Use the official manuals instead.
Thanks for any thought. Cheers
