I am new to jupyter, and I am looking to install an R package (tseries) that is available on CRAN
I was trying to follow a question that was raised, but I think I am getting a different problem.
I was originally following this link
conda - How to install R packages that are not available in "R-essentials"?
But it seems obvious that the answer direct me to another link which is
https://www.continuum.io/content/conda-data-science
under the Building a conda R package
They said to run
conda skeleton cran ldavis
and then I got the following
C:\Users\Rami>conda skeleton cran ldavis
Tip: install CacheControl (conda package) to cache the CRAN metadata

Please help me in steps as I am really new to this on windows 10
Thank you all for your remarks but the easiest way I found for not worrying about the r directory is through downloading the package directly from jupyter using the following command
install.packages('tseries', repos='http://cran.us.r-project.org')
This worked fine for me.
