Can't load the r package 'arulesViz' because no package called 'viridis'

Question

I want to use 'arulesViz' to visualize association rule, but when I load the package, r give me an error:

>library(arulesViz) Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘arulesViz’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]): there is no package called ‘viridis’

I install 'viridis' independently before 'arulesViz' but when I use library(viridis) I still get the same error which said there is no such package.

How can I successfully install 'arulesViz'?

make sure you have `dependencies = TRUE` on when you `install.packages('arulesViz')`, see `?install.packages` — MichaelChirico, Feb 03 '18 at 03:19

As the comments suggest, you could install the library with dependencies, like this:

install.packages("arulesViz", dependencies = TRUE)

I have removed the previous one I installed and reinstall the package as your suggestion. However, I still get the same error... – Bonnie Gu Feb 03 '18 at 17:41
Looks like the problem is with the paths. Can you have a look here: https://www.reddit.com/r/R_Programming/comments/4c7e58/why_can_i_not_load_the_package_arulesviz_no/ – Taher A. Ghaleb Feb 03 '18 at 18:00

I have removed all of the packages and installed them again. Then there's no error.

I fixed the problem by downloading the latest release from github:

library("devtools")
install_github("mhahsler/arulesViz")
