I am trying to install 'gplots' in R 3.4.4, however I keep getting the following error:

install.packages("gplots")
Installing package into ‘/home/u1983390/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning: dependency ‘caTools’ is not available

ERROR: dependency ‘caTools’ is not available for package ‘gplots’
* removing ‘/home/u1983390/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4/gplots’

The downloaded source packages are in
    ‘/tmp/Rtmplw9pSu/downloaded_packages’
Warning message:
In install.packages("gplots") :
  installation of package ‘gplots’ had non-zero exit status
> install.packages('caTools')
Installing package into ‘/home/u1983390/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4’

Warning message:
package ‘caTools’ is not available (for R version 3.4.4)

I believe this can be solved by installing a version of caTools compatible with R 3.4.4 following this method. However, I cannot find where older versions of caTools are (I have looked in the CRAN archive).

Would anybody be able to direct me to an earlier version, or does anyone know a different method for instaling gplots?

Cheers, Jamie

    Your R version is two years old by now, consider to [update R](https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/). – jay.sf Jul 02 '20 at 14:33
