I’m trying to install "randomForest" on Rstudio 3.6.3 as below:
urlPackage <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/randomForest/randomForest_4.6-14.tar.gz"
install.packages(urlPackage, repos=NULL, type="source")
(install.packages(‘randomForest’) throws the error: package ‘randomForest’ is not available (for R version 3.6.3))
The lines above, however, give me the following error:
trying URL 'https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/randomForest/randomForest_4.6-14.tar.gz'

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this? I’m on macOS Catalina (ver 10.15.7)
>Solution :
You should install the gcc8 tool:
sudo port install gcc8
