How to install the e1071 package in R 2.15.0

Question

I want to use the skewness() and kurtosis() functions from the e1071 package. I have tried downloading the e1071 package with

install.packages("e1071", dep = TRUE) 

but it still doesn't seem to work. So I am wondering if it is the wrong version I installed. I've tried searching the CRAN site but I can't seem to find the version for R 2.15.0.

So I was wondering if I was doing it wrong or could someone please give me the link to the e1071 package, version 2.15.0.

2.15.0 is a bit dated. Why not upgrade? It's free! :-) – Indite

I would but unfortunately I don't have admin rights, thanks for helping anyway. – Christchurch

try install.packages("e1071", dep = TRUE, type = "source") perhaps there is no binary for that version. – Dorolisa

You don't need admin rights to install R. – Biosphere

I've tried downloading the latest version but when I install it, the computer is asking me for the admin rights. : ( – Christchurch

Try reinstalling R (3.0.2) from scratch, and just designate the installation as "user only" to avoid the admin headache. Also, BTW, I copied the skew and kurtosis funcs into my cgwtools package, so you could download that and pull the R modules for those functions. They don't require compilation. – Diena

Answer 1

You could try this: go to the

https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/e1071/index.html

get the windows Finding the windows binary filebinaries for the library and put it in your library folder within the R installation. Then load the library within R

library(e1071) :)

Answer 3

In R (for OSX) select Packages & Data -> Package Installer from the menu. If you haven't already select a Datacenter.

Then you can search for the package and install it via Install selected

Then you can use the package via:

> library(e1071)

Answer 4

This is how I did it for mac: 1) Download the binary - https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=e1071 2) Run R CMD INSTALL e1071_version.tgz After this i tried to load the library but ran into the following problem. If you don't you can skip the step below.

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘e1071’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...): unable to load shared object '/Users/ME/anaconda3/lib/R/library/e1071/libs/e1071.so':

dlopen(/Users/ME/anaconda3/lib/R/library/e1071/libs/e1071.so, 6): Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/lib/libR.dylib Referenced from: /Users/ME/anaconda3/lib/R/library/e1071/libs/e1071.so Reason: image not found

3) Copy /Users/ME/anaconda3/lib/R/lib/libR.dylib /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/lib/libR.dylib

A soft link might work as well but i just copied the whole lib.
