Error installing old tm package in R


I'm trying to install a 0.6-2 version of the tm library. I've downloaded the tar.gz file from the archive and in RStudio selected Tools -> Archive -> Package Archive File to install it. I have also installed the latest version of Java and Rtools.

However, I'm getting the following error. Can someone help me fix this please:

Solution

  • The error was being caused by the RStudio version. I could install the tm package successfully after updating to the latest version of RStudio.
