julievaga · March 9, 2022, 3:34pm

Im tryning to download the following packages:

install.packages("quanteda")
install.packages("quanteda.textstats")

It's not working and I am getting this error message:

Would really appreciate any help or tips on how to download these packages. Tried everything I can think of...

Since you are using a quite old R version you are forced to compile packages from source, for that you need to install Xcode in your system (not in R) and the recommended development tools for macOS systems.
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/

Another option would be to update your R version so you can get access to precompiled binaries that are easier to install.

Thank you so much for your fast reply.
I am very new to R studio so really appreciate the help!
I tried downloading the newest version of R studio. However it is still not working.
I am now getting this error code:

 install.packages("quanteda")
also installing the dependency ‘RcppArmadillo’


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

Do you want to install from sources the packages which need compilation? (Yes/no/cancel)

Can you think of anything else I can do? I really need this package...
Thank you so much again,

RStudio is an IDE for the R programming language, you need to update the R interpreter itself not the IDE, you can download the latest R version for your operating system from here

https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/
