I am using R 3.6.0 on CentOS 7.8.2003.

When I enter

install.packages("psych")

I get the following results

Installing package into ‘/usr/lib64/R/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

When I try

install.packages("mnormt")

I get

(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning message:

I tried the solutions given here and here but neither worked. Is it not possible to install the psych package on R 3.6.0?

    The `mnormt` is a dependency for `psych` and the latest version requires R 4.0. You can manually [install an older version of that package](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17082341/installing-older-version-of-r-package) and then try to install `psych` after that and it should work. – MrFlick Jul 14 '20 at 16:34

    Thanks. You are correct. I downloaded mnormt_1.5-7.tar.gz and ran "sudo R CMD INSTALL mnormt_1.5-7.tar.gz". That fixed the problem. Thanks very much, – OtagoHarbour Jul 14 '20 at 19:55
