Can't install cowplot package

[edtanjs3]

Hi guys, need some advice on installing cowplot. My enterprise is still using an older version of R (3.4.1), and I faced some difficulties of installing other packages when I was setting it up. However, I really just can't seem to install cowplot. I used:

install.packages("cowplot", repos="http://cran.r-project.org/")

and I got the following:

install.packages("cowplot", repos="http://cran.r-project.org/")
Installing package into ‘\C/Documents/R/win-library/3.4’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘cowplot’ is not available (for R version 3.4.1)

Any advice out there?

The current cowplot version depends on R >= 3.5.0. Previous versions where content with R >= 3.3.0. This changed here. So cowplot version 0.9.2 should work with R 3.4.1. A simple way to install a specfic version is to use the remotes::install_version function.

Thank you, managed to download the older version and it seems to work now. Thank you!

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
