May I know how to solve the problem? Thanks in advance!

Please always remove these `>` before posting your question. — NelsonGon, Jul 09 '19 at 16:26
It gives another error now: ERROR: dependency 'network' is not available for package 'statnet' — KHW, Jul 09 '19 at 16:35
I think you need to install with all dependencies set to `TRUE`. Try `install.packages("statnet",dependencies=TRUE)`. It seems to be available on CRAN. — NelsonGon, Jul 09 '19 at 16:38
Please update your question with the output of `sessionInfo()` and all code you've since ran. Also include any new errors. Do you have Rtools installed? — NelsonGon, Jul 09 '19 at 16:40
Thanks, bro. The installation works now. What I did basically was rebooting the rstudio and then installed the package with all dependencies set to TRUE. Thanks again! — KHW, Jul 09 '19 at 16:58
I would add that it is a good practice to specify the version (as noted by @NelsonGon) using the function sessionInfo() from the utils package. — gvegayon, Nov 19 '19 at 18:22

First, I would restart your R session. The error message:

there is no package called 'tibble'

Indicates that you don't have the tibble package. Simillary, the error message

Error : package 'network' could not be loaded

Indicates that you don't have the network package.

I would install these packages on the console by typing:

install.packages(c("tibble", "network"),dependencies=TRUE))

Then try to install your package.

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