Unable to install "R2MLwiN’ is not available (for R version 3.5.2)" (Feb 2019)

Post by dcanarteg »

Hello
I was today (Feb 5, 2019) trying to install R2MLwiN on R 3.5.2. Mac OS El Capitan, and I have the following

Warning in install.packages :
package ‘R2MLwiN’ is not available (for R version 3.5.2)

I followed a previous post in this forum topic to download the package from the archive (https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/R2MLwiN/) and I am still unable to install it and got this:

Warning: invalid package ‘R2MLwiN_0.8-5.tar.gz’
Error: ERROR: no packages specified
Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ‘R2MLwiN_0.8-5.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status

I don't know what to do. Any help will be appreciated.

R2MLwiN has been temporarily removed from CRAN due to a missing package dependency. For more details and a workaround see:
