Having trouble installing 'lavaan'

[Courtney Coon]

I have the most up to date version of R but not able to install the package. 

> install.packages("lavaan", dependencies=TRUE)
Warning in install.packages :
  cannot open: HTTP status was '404 Not Found'
Warning in install.packages :
  cannot open: HTTP status was '404 Not Found'
Warning in install.packages :
  unable to access index for repository http://www.revolution-computing.com/cran/bin/windows/contrib/3.0
Warning in install.packages :
  package ‘lavaan’ is not available (for R version 3.0.1)

Doesn't work when I save the zipped file from http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/lavaan/ and then install either.
> install.packages("~/R/win-library/3.0/lavaan_0.5-15.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")
Warning in install.packages :

Any suggestions?

I get the same warning messages with that code too.

Are you using an R version from the 'Revolution analytics' company? In
that case, please contact them and complain.

You could try using a different repository, for example:

install.packages("lavaan", repos="http://cran.at.r-project.org/")

If this fails, I would urge you to install a 'regular' version of R. You
can download it from http://cran.r-project.org/

Let us know if it works,

Yves.

Yves,
I got it downloaded to R studio with the code you suggested: install.packages("lavaan", repos="http://cran.at.r-project.org/").
Thanks!
