Can't Install Glmnet in R [Closed]

It hard to tell whether anything is wrong. The code:

installed.packages("glmnet")

... does not install anything. You should instead try this:

install.packages("glmnet", dependencies=TRUE)

The glmnet package has many dependencies. This is what I saw when I just installed it:

also installing the dependencies ‘mime’, ‘iterators’, ‘evaluate’, ‘formatR’, ‘highr’, ‘markdown’, ‘yaml’, ‘foreach’, ‘knitr’, ‘lars’

The downloaded binary packages are in
    /var/folders/68/vh2f8kzn09j8954r6q9100yh0000gn/T//Rtmp5fI1D2/downloaded_packages

Then nothing change in the result from your code. (I've never used the installed.packages function and so don't really know whether that is expected behavior.

> installed.packages("glmnet")

So @bethanyP suggested looking at spelling (of what I'm not sure, perhaps just the function name). I looked at the help page for `installed.packages and now know why the result was uninformative with or without the presence of glmnet and that is that the first argument to installed packages is no a package name but rahter a library path. I don't have a library path by that name and so no packages were found in either case.
