require(GEOquery) then try again. If not installed, do:

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")

BiocManager::install("GEOquery")

If Bioconductor is not installed see https://bioconductor.org/install/ and please google for a background in R package management first.

Thank you for your response. I have got another error:

Error is pretty clear, check if you have the files:

Error: '~/proj/lung/data/FUDAN_Expression/GSE20853_series_matrix.txt.gz' does not exist.

I am beginner in this field. Please guide me if I should download the supplementary file from GEO page?

Raheleroudi : You can find the series matrix file on this page at NCBI GEO.

Check that the destdir exists (and create it if not) before calling getGEO

The path ~/proj/lung/data/ already exit.

(That isn't an answer, it's a reply to a comment). Nonethless, please check if the _destdir_ exists, that is, ~/proj/lung/data/FUDAN_Expression, not ~/proj/lung/data.
