are you using the GUI?

if so go to 'packages and data' -> 'Package Installer' -> CRAN binaries

select whatever, make sure to tick 'install dependencies' and there you go.

You could use a different method from a R session running in a terminal, but I think I'd be spoilng the fun if I deprived you of the opportunity to google 'how to install R packages' or something like that.
