R: package ‘arulesViz’ is not available (as a binary package for R version 3.1.3)

I'm a newcomer in R and studying Apriori algorithm now.

The problem is I can install the R package arules but when I want to install the package arulesViz, R is throwing an error message:

install.packages("arulesViz")

package ‘arulesViz’ is available as a source package but not as a binary

Warning in install.packages :

package ‘arulesViz’ is not available (as a binary package for R version 3.1.3)

I have read the article "How should I deal with “package 'xxx' is not available” warning?", but I still don't understand how to solve this problem.

What is the mirror you used? Also, you should upgrade your version of R. – user3710546

If your OS is Microsoft Windows and you have Rtools (http://cran.revolutionanalytics.com/bin/windows/Rtools/) installed, then you can do the following:

install.packages("arulesViz", type = "source")
