I can't install the CAR package on Mac OS X 10.8.5

Question

I have Version 0.99.467 – © 2009-2015 for R Studio and cannot install the CAR package on my Mac OS X 10.8.5.

I have tried the install.packages("car") in the console, as well as manually importing the zip files from the CRAN website: car_2.0-26.tgz / car_2.0-25.tgz

I have also tried to install the older sources from the car archive although none of these will work.

I need this package for my statistics assignment and am having no luck in loading it.

Answer 1

If this is the error:

Loading required package: car
Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]) :
there is no package called ‘quantreg’
Error: package ‘car’ could not be loaded

Try installing the quantreg package before you run the car package.
