Not able to get 'memisc' through eeptools in R Studio. No package called memisc while loading eeptools

I initially figured memisc comes in eeptools package. So I installed eeptools package. 

install.packages('eeptools')

Then on trying to use memisc 

library(memisc)

I get an error

Error in library(memisc) : there is no package called ‘memisc’ So I try to use eeptools library directly.

library(eeptools)

Error still extends to this library too...

Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]) : there is no package called ‘memisc’ Show Traceback Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘eeptools’

Based on this problem - Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]) : there is no package called 'stringi' I tried doing this 

install.packages("eeptools", repos="http://cran.rstudio.com/", dependencies=TRUE)

Error still persists. It gave a warning saying it couldn't find memisc. And I am using R Studio working on an Rmd file, and MacOS, if that helps.

Solution

  • After taking @Marco Sandri's suggestion in the comment, I tried installing it manually by downloading the package. It gave an error saying that my R needed to be updated. On updating R the installation of eeptools worked and memisc worked as well.
