New to R, and am trying to install the text mining package ™. However when I do

install.packages(“tm”,dependencies=TRUE)

I get the following error:

  Warning in install.packages("tm", dependencies = TRUE) :
  argument 'lib' is missing: using '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library'
  --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
  Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done
  Warning message:
  In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
  package ‘tm’ is not available

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

    There’s a thread on this in the Ubuntu forums.

    Most likely answer is that tm requires a more recent version of R (>= 2.11.0) than the one that you have installed. Try adding an R repository as described here and upgrading, then try to install tm again.
