Can't install package mosaic

[ivanas1]

Hi All,

when trying to install the package "mosaic", I get following error message:

install.packages("mosaic")

Installing package into ‘C:/Users/xxx/Documents/R/win-library/3.5’

(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

Warning in install.packages :

dependency ‘ggstance’ is not available

also installing the dependency ‘ggformula’

There are binary versions available but the source versions are later:

The downloaded source packages are in

Can someone please help me? I'm relatively new to RStudio.

What version of R are you running? You can see that by running sessionInfo(). The output of that can be long but the R version is at the top. When I run it, the output shows I am running R 4.2.1

> sessionInfo()
R version 4.2.1 (2022-06-23 ucrt)

dependency ‘ggstance’ is not available

ggstance, which is a package dependency for mosaic requires R >= 3.6 so you need to update your R version (3.5) in order to install it
