Hello again, I did not expect the browser to automatically extract, so I changed the Safari setting and it downloaded as a ?gz? file. It is clear now that R is finding the package but I get a different error as follows:> install.packages("polycor_0.7-8.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source")ERROR: dependency ?mvtnorm? is not available for package ?polycor? * removing ?/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/library/polycor? Warning message: In install.packages("polycor_0.7-8.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source") : installation of package ?polycor_0.7-8.tar.gz? had non-zero exit status I get the same error when I try Rui?s way of accessing the file. Suggestions online are along the lines of installing the dependencies separately, but I am not sure how to go about separating the file into its dependencies? Thank you so much!

Excellent - I will know where to look for the required packages next time. I actually was able to install everything successfully in Sierra in the end, interestingly enough.
