Installation issue

[ColleenRossier]

Dear Richard and others,

I have installed rstan, but when I try to install rethinking, I get the following error:

ERROR: dependency 'loo' is not available for package 'rethinking'
removing 'C:/Users/drlabuser/Documents/R/win-library/3.1/rethinking'
Error: Command failed (1)

Any suggestions welcome!

Thank you,
Colleen

try install.packages("loo") and then try installing rethinking again ... ?

Did that end up solving the problem? If not, I guess it's possible that
your CRAN mirror hasn't updated, as I just added an update to loo on CRAN a
few days ago. But I think both source and binary are already up. And if
you're using the RStudio mirror then I definitely don't think that's the
issue.

If you want you can install loo from GitHub using

devtools::install_github("jgabry/loo")

Hope that helps.

Thank you all for your quick responses! My issue was that my R was not up to date, and loo requires 3.1.2 or later. https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/loo/index.html
