  There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
    binary source needs_compilation
car  3.0-3  3.0-4             FALSE

I don't know what's going wrong with my R ? is there having someone who can help me to figure out how to install this package in my R?
this is the version of R :
R version 3.5.3 (2019-03-11) -- "Great Truth"
Copyright (C) 2019 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0 (64-bit)

The error message says that there is no package openxlsx. Try installing that first.

thanks for your help ~ :relaxed:
I have one more question ~ if you have free time to answer me ~
I want to use this PoEdata package, but why I couldn't find it ~
Error in library(PoEdata) : there is no package called ‘PoEdata’
:grinning:

The PoEdata package is not on CRAN it is on github. The instructions in the repository are:

The package works best with RStudio. To install the "PoEdata" package, type the following script lines in the Console window of RStudio:

 install.packages("devtools")  # if not already installed
 library(devtools)
 install_git("https://github.com/ccolonescu/PoEdata")

Hey there,
I have the same problem but even after installing PoEdata my 'car-non-zero exit status' still exists. I don't know what to do anymore. Any other suggestions?
