[R] Help installing the finalfit package

[Bill Poling]

Good morning. Over the weekend I worked through this tutorial on bloggers.com at home where I am on 3.5.5:

#Elegant regression results tables and plots in R: the finalfit package

https://www.r-bloggers.com/elegant-regression-results-tables-and-plots-in-r-the-finalfit-package/

Here at my office I am on "R version 3.4.4 (2018-03-15)" and wish to use some of what I learned.

The tutorial ran splendidly at home but here at office, not so much, big smile.

I believe I had a similar problem last week and was advised to install the package library(Matrix) which was evidently necessary for sessionInfo() and for lazy load DB -- *source* package 'psycho'  etc... which I now load at the beginning of every session.

So my hunch is that maybe I need 3.5.5 for all this to work?

Also I have this error with the mice package:

Error in library(mice) : there is no package called 'mice'


I would appreciate any suggestion please.

Thank you
