It means "there is no package called 'gam' in your computer at this
moment". You need to download it first. You can probably do this
through the application menus. I am on a Mac, but the menus should be
similar. I have a "Packages&Data" menu, that has a "Package
Installer" item.
Alternatively, you can use the "install.packages" command I think:
install.packages("gam")
R has a bit of a learning curve, you'll probably want to read some of
the basic guides first, if you haven't yet. Have a look at these:
