You get the following error:
Error: couldn't find function "install.package"

after correcting the function name to
   install.packages(mvbutils)
you get the follwoing error:
Error in install.packages(mvbutils) : Object "mvbutils" not found

after correcting the package name to be character, it should work:
   install.packages("mvbutils")


Please read the error messages!!! No error message told you that the 
package is not available.
