I am trying to install hmisc package for some descriptive statistics in R. But I am facing an error given below.

package ‘colorspace’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked Error in install.packages : ERROR: failed to lock directory ‘C:\Users\Hammad\OneDrive\Documents\R\win-library\3.6’ for modifying Try removing ‘C:\Users\Hammad\OneDrive\Documents\R\win-library\3.6/00LOCK’

How can I fix this problem?

Thanks.

Find the file “00LOCK” in the directory mentioned manually and delete it

It worked. Thank you so much. But now, when I start loading it using command library(Hmisc), I get the following warning. Would you please help me to figure it out?

WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages but is not currently installed. Please download and install the appropriate version of Rtools before proceeding:

I have also downloaded rtool40 and installed it as well. I am not sure is it correctly installed or not, as apparently it seems to be installed. And still receiving the warning message. Please give any suggestion or solution. Thanks.

Yes, if you have installed it from this website (https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/) it should work. Did you restart the R-studio after installation?

Yes, I have installed it from the mentioned website and I have restarted the R studio now. I think it should work now. Please tell me the command to perform descriptive statistics/ Independent sample t-test. If you write it in steps, I would be obliged.

I am sorry, but you have to look it up for yourself. Just google whatever you trying to learn, I think you will find plenty of options.
