I need to install a package that gives the following error so I am looking for a solution to that. The first approach is looking at ways to chose the right R version. enter image description here

Should I spend some more time on this or there are other approaches to overcome this issue?

    Changing the R version wont install automatically an older version of said package. To install the specific version of a package you need the URL to it. Check out this: https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/219949047-Installing-older-versions-of-packages. Changing R version can be useful to avoid some troubles regarding package version and R version (which in my experience, is not common). – Cris Jan 14 '19 at 14:58

For this package you need R (≥ 3.5.0), so R 3.4.4 is not sufficient for standard installation.

Check on the cran website of the package for further information.

For upgrading R on ubuntu check here (old link!)

Edit: wibeasley mentioned a new link in the commentary for updating R 3.5.0 on Ubuntu. Check the new link

  • More Ubuntu installation information for R ≥3.5.0: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1031597/r-3-5-0-for-ubuntu. Some settings have changed since that 2nd link above was written in 2012. – wibeasley Jan 15 '19 at 16:58
