I have tried to follow recomendations in link How should I deal with "package 'xxx' is not available (for R version x.y.z)" warning? , and result is the next (not positive):

1. Name is OK
   
2. Just set all possible repositories
   
3. Package is of course in repositories
   
4. 'stringr' is of course a package
   
5. My R is not out of date, I recently upgrated it to 3.2.0 version
   
6. 'stringr' is not an archive package
   

7. This did not give positive result:
   

   install.packages("stringr", type = "source")
   Installing package into ‘C:/Users/kozlovpy/Documents/R/win-library/3.2’
   (as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
   also installing the dependency ‘stringi’

8. Github packages shows the next:
   

   install_github("hadley/stringr")
   Downloading github repo hadley/stringr@master
   Ошибка в loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]) :
   there is no package called ‘stringi’
   install_github("Rexamine/stringi")
   Downloading github repo Rexamine/stringi@master
   Ошибка в loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]) :
   there is no package called ‘stringi’
   

9. options(install.packages.check.source = "no") didn't help too
   

10. Trying to enter different repos - no hopes.
    

Any guesses what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Sir, I tried this:

install.packages("stringi", dependencies=TRUE, INSTALL_opts = c('--no-lock'))
install.packages("stringr", dependencies=TRUE, INSTALL_opts = c('--no-lock'))

and it worked for me, give it a try!

Answer 2

In my case only combining of two options worked:

running as admin and then:

install.packages("stringi", dependencies=TRUE, INSTALL_opts = c('--no-lock'))

Answer 3

u/Joyvalley's answer to a similar question worked. Just run R as superuser and install stringi then:

sudo -i R

Answer 4

Installing the newest version of Rtools worked for me.

https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/

Answer 5

These error are quite annoying. I able to fix by installing stringi and stringr using conda. conda install -c r r-stringi and conda install -c r r-stringr hope this will help.
