I am running R version 4.3.0 with R studio 2023.03.1 on a windows machine. I want to use the LEA package. When I try <install.packages("LEA")>, I get
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘LEA’ is not available for this version of R
A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere,
see the ideas at
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-packages
I have googled the error and checked out the above link. From there, I tried
av <- available.packages(filters=list())
av[av[, "Package"] == pkg, ]
With the result
Error: object 'LEA' not found.
The LEA package is not available on CRAN (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/available_packages_by_name.html#available-packages-L)
I did find it on Github and used
devtools::install_github("bcm-uga/LEA")
to load the package. It seemed to work but produced
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/user/AppData/Local/R/win-library/4.3’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

I an now out of ideas. Any ideas please?
I did google this and read the answers to similar questions, but none solved my problem. I needed to know where the current LEA package was located on the net. @Roland told me.
