I had everything working with R and RStudio, but then I moved the folders when cleaning up my computer directories & files. Now I'm getting the error message below.
Should R and RStudio be installed under Program Files
or Program Files (x86)
? Should I have two libPaths
?
install.packages("C:/Users/kevin/Downloads/fpp_0.5.zip", repos = NULL)
## Warning in install.packages :

When you install the package using the RStudio package installer or directly from CRAN, it doesn't install the dependencies ("fracdiff", "Rcpp", "RcppArmadillo" and "colorspace") and hence, R keeps throwing the load namespace error. Installing the package through, automatically installs all the dependencies and solves this problem.
install.packages("forecast",
repos = c("http://rstudio.org/_packages",
"http://cran.rstudio.com"))
