I only want to install the Rattle package and its dependencies in R, though I got that GTK 2.8 is required. Since I'm not a programmer I went the most simple route and ran homebrew but it installed GTK 2.24.
Now I get this error instead [full code]

‘/private/var/folders/gz/hgc4y87s16gcg7q7b6fgq1hc0000gn/T/RtmpXbOVK8/downloaded_packages’How do i update GTK from 2.24 to 2.8? Homebrew apparently always installs 2.24.
Also, should I install 2.8 or any version above it should work? Usually updated is better - in consumer stuff at least.
Is there a simple guideline for users not very accustomed to terminal on how to do this? I found https://www.hardcoded.net/devlogs/20120426 but simple copy pasting does not work and I'm not comfortable messing around with stuff like this in terminal.
