Cannot install and use library party.

I can't install and use library party. I look at the orjent.org website. It specifies that it is an add-on package under GPL-2 License. Can I use this free library? I would like to use ctree model for data management.

Hi sukanya21,

The error indicates that you do not have party installed in your R environment. Are you using RStudio? If so, one simple way to confirm this is to check the pane in your RStudio IDE with the tabs "File", "Plots", "Packages", "Help", "Viewer", and "Presentation". Select "Packages" and scroll to see if you can find party within your list. If not, you'll need to install it before loading it into your session.

To install the package, type the following into your console:

install.packages("party")

This will download the package into your R environment from CRAN. Here is the link to the party project on CRAN for your reference. You should now find the package in the "Packages" tab I referenced previously.

To begin using party in your active R session, you will now load the package:

library(party)

I hope this helps get you started in the right direction! I'll let other folks chime in on other aspects of your post. Of note, I was unable to open the link you provided.

Thank you very much. Now I can install and use package party in rstudio.cloud but I can't install and use it on RStudio Desktop.

Glad we got that sorted for Cloud!

I'm assuming the output you've shared is from the Cloud instance since it appears as thought it was successfully installed. Can you share any messaging/information about your RStudio Desktop session? Particularly, what happens when you try installing the party package?

Thanks,
JBburg
