I am trying to download "highcharter" but got the error below. I also tried installing "rjson" but I got "package ‘rjson’ is not available (for R version 3.6.3)" message
ERROR: dependency 'rjson' is not available for package 'highcharter'
* removing 'C:/Users/elif.gencaslan/Documents/R/win-library/3.6/highcharter'
Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ‘highcharter’ had non-zero exit status
>Solution :
The problem: Outdated R version
The latest version of rjson (0.2.21) depends on R version >= 4.0.0 (see CRAN), and it seems like you have R version 3.6.3.
Best solution: Update R
Your best option is to update your version of R before installing rjson or highcharter.
Alternatives: Install old version of rjson
An alternative is to install an older version of rjson (0.2.20 should work with your version of R).
You can either do this with packages like renv:
renv::install("rjson@0.2.20")
Or remotes:
remotes::install_version("rjson", "0.2.20")
Or you could download it and install it manually from this mran snapshot.
