Problem installing factoextra package in R

Question

Hi I am using R (and RStudio in Ubuntu) I am having the following issue.

I use the line of code:

install.packages("factoextra")

During the installation I get the message:

install.packages("factoextra")
Installing package into ‘/home/martinandrade/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

Warning in install.packages :
  dependencies ‘FactoMineR’, ‘cowplot’ are not available
also installing the dependency ‘ggpubr’

The downloaded source packages are in
    ‘/tmp/RtmpsKLn56/downloaded_packages’

Which then produces an error message when I load the package

library("factoextra")

Error in library("factoextra") : there is no package called ‘factoextra’

For the "car" package, you can install it with this command (on linux ubuntu):

1) sudo apt-get update

2) sudo apt-get install r-cran-car

Answer 2

If you're using ubuntu, just follow this link https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/21.10/ubuntu-universe-arm64/r-cran-factoextra_1.0.7-2_all.deb.html. Download deb file then install on ubuntu. No need install.package from R environment. For me it works successfully.
