install.packages("arules")

pls. find below GUI - Screen for Rcmdr Package Open RStudio. Go to the “Packages” tab and click on “Install Packages”. The first time you’ll do this you’ll be prompted to choose a CRAN mirror. R will download all necessary files from the server you select here. Choose the location closest to you (probably “USA CA 1” or “USA CA 2”, which are housed at UC Berkeley and UCLA, respectively).

enter image description here

Install packages in Windows Start typing “Rcmdr” until you see it appear in a list. Select the first option (or finish typing Rcmdr), ensure that “Install dependencies” is checked, and click “Install”. Install Rcmdr in Windows Wait while all the parts of the R Commander package are installed.

Additiona Note: in widows i.e. open C:\Program Files\Microsoft\R Open\R-4.0.2\bin And then run this command install.packages("arules") as this post said. — Saddam Meshaal, Dec 31 '21 at 18:21

I had a similar problem. I solve it using

#install and load devtools to install directly from github
install("devtools")    
library("devtools")
install_github("mhahsler/arules")

Missing bracket on `install("devtools"` – Alan Oct 18 '17 at 22:56
I fixed the missing parenthesis and this works. HOWEVER, if you follow this solution, RStudio will also ask you to install RTools. You'll then need to restart RStudio. This will work so long as arules is still hosted at this git page, and is compatible with the latest version of R/RStudio. – Patrick Williams Mar 12 '18 at 17:08

If you want to install "arules" package, you may not be able to install it just using the code below. << install.packages("arules") >>

follow the steps in order to solve problem:

go to the package's address and download it manually.you will find it in the link below: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/arules/index.html
If you are using R-Studio just install that package you have got, by "tools" menu in your IDE (R-studio) Tools->Install packages->...

brows the file in your computer and install it.

go to the command line and using library(arules) function test the package. If there is still an error it could belong to incompatibility of the package with the version of R (Not R-Studio or any other IDE that you are using), just upgrade R and try installation period again.

I had a related problem where I could not install arules after being able to successfully install many libraries. I finally learned that I needed to update to 3.4 for arules. In order to do that, I followed duckmayr's answer HERE. Then, I was able to install arules with no issues, and it worked.
