I'm trying to install Rattle and am having problems installing RGtk2. I am using R version 4.1, so there may be a version compatibility issue. However, I noticed that RStudio is installing packages into OneDrive:

Installing package into ‘C:/Users/tdwri/OneDrive/Documents/R/win-library/4.1’

but I am using R in C:\Program Files\R\R-4.1.2\

Question 1: how do I make sure packages are installed in C:\Program Files\R\R-4.1.2 instead of OneDrive?

Question 2: How do I install rattle when I am getting the error: package ‘RGtk2’ is not available for this version of R.

Question 3: If the solution to the second question involves downgrading the R version, how can I do that?

I apologize for asking 3 questions. I'm trying to get Rattle to work and these problems came up.

I found an answer to this at https://rattle.togaware.com/

RGtk2 appears to have been retired from CRAN. To install it from the Microsoft CRAN snapshots:

This worked- in addition don't forget to find file move it and resave it in the file you need it in.

Rattle was archived on CRAN recently but after an update is being unarchived.

This may take a day or so.

In the meantime the following should work:

install.packages("rattle", repos="https://rattle.togaware.com", type="source")

I just checked and it worked for me.

Also RGtk2 has been archived on CRAN though the author indicates it is remains functional.

Yes, please follow the instructions at https://rattle.togaware.com to install RGtk2 from MRAN instead.

install.packages("https://cran.microsoft.com/snapshot/2021-12-15/src/contrib/RGtk2_2.20.36.2.tar.gz", repos=NULL)
