SentimentAnalysis package

[iFeanyi]

Hello guys, please can anyone help me with this problem I have. I have downloaded and installed the "SentimentAnalysis" package in R Studio from CRAN. But, when I try to load the package, using library(), I get an error message. Below is what always happens when I try to load the package:

library("SentimentAnalysis")
Error in library("SentimentAnalysis") : 
  there is no package called ‘SentimentAnalysis’

Is there something I am missing in my RStudio, which has not allowed the package to be installed? I see the package's zip file in my computer files - I use a windows computer.
When I try to install the package again, I always get the following message:

 install.packages("SentimentAnalysis")
Warning in install.packages :
  dependency ‘slam’ is not available
also installing the dependency ‘tm’


  There are binary versions available but the source versions are
  later:
                  binary source needs_compilation
tm                 0.7-3  0.7-6              TRUE
SentimentAnalysis  1.3-2  1.3-3             FALSE

Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation?
y/n: y

Warning in install.packages : dependency ‘slam’ is not available

The error message is giving you a clue, you have to install the missing dependency slam, the problem is that this package requires R >= 3.4.0 and apparently you are using 3.3 version, so you have to update R in order to being able to install this package.

Thanks a lot. I will update my R Studio and try to install slam

You have to update R not RStudio, they are two different pieces of software.

But how does that affect sentiment analysis in R Studio? I wish to carry out sentiment analysis in R Studio not R

Take a look at this thread to learn how R and RStudio relate to each other

Differentiating R from RStudio

Aside: goals for this thread

I'm hoping this will help people disambiguate R from RStudio, and also help with getting questions in the right category. This is a bit of a mashup of the times I've tried to explain this in individual threads, so please feel free to add to this topic for further clarification/point out corrections, etc.

Before putting a code-related question in the #rstudio-ide category or using the rstudio tag, it's helpful to ask yourself: Does this work in the regular R GUI, but not when you're in RStudio? If you're using RStudio, you're using R — RStudio is just an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) in which you are using the R language. (On of my favourite fi…
