This is the message I receive when trying to install the swirl package. Have no clue what it means. Can anyone help?
install.packages("swirl")
Installing package into ‘/Users/brian.rainey/Library/R/x86_64/4.2/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
also installing the dependency ‘RCurl’
There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
binary source needs_compilation
RCurl 1.98-1.9 1.98-1.10 TRUE
This offers a choice of a pre-cooked ready to slice version of the package, the binary version or the ingredients and a recipe, the source version.
If you respond “n”, things will always work for installation if any other package can also be installed. If you answer “Y”, it may or may not work. If it doesn’t work the first attempt it will not work at all for the vast majority of users who are not experienced in programming.
