Unable to install cytofkit on RStudio3.3.3 in Mac OS X Yosemite

[twliu10]

I've tried to install cytofkit using both options. When I input:

source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("cytofkit")
output:
Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]) :

When I try:
if(!require(devtools)){
install.packages("devtools") # If not already installed
}
devtools::install_github("JinmiaoChenLab/cytofkit")
Output:
Error: Failed to install 'cytofkit' from GitHub:
(converted from warning) packages ‘VGAM’, ‘vegan’, ‘mvtnorm’, ‘caTools’, ‘VIM’, ‘proxy’ are not available (for R version 3.3.3)

It seems a lot of packages are not available for R version 3.3.3 and I can not install them manually either. Cytofkit2 is also not available for R version 3.3.3. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi,
Install a newer R version or change your computer to a newer one.
No alternative.
Best.
