It sounds as though you downloaded the wrong files, but you don't give 
details about how you did the downloads or installed them into R, so I 
can't guess how that happened.

The standard safe way to install packages is to run R and then in R run 
"install.packages("packagename")".  It might ask you to specify a 
mirror; generally the first one in the list is safe.  On my system, that 
is displayed as "0-Cloud".

If you are running RStudio, then you will get somewhat different 
behaviour because it inserts its own install.packages() function, but it 
should still work.  If not, try it in a plain R session.
