Hi Harshita,
I think you are trying to install the package "seqinr" (Biological
Sequences Retrieval and Analysis).

1) When you see something like <packagename> in the help pages, it
means "Insert the name of the package here". So you really want:

install.packages("seqinr")

2) Both spelling and capitalization matter in R. From your screenshot
you seem to be using Windows, where capitalization often doesn't
matter. So you have to spell words correctly and use the correct case.

Hi Harshita,
This usually means that R-4.0.0 is sufficiently different from R-3.6.3
that seqinr no longer works in R-4.0.0. You may want to go back to
R-3.6.3 if you really need it. You may also want to contact Simon
Penel, the maintainer (see the seqinr package page on CRAN) for
information on when an updated version will appear.

Dear Harshita,

I just tried to install seqinr on my win10 machine (R4.0) and had no 
problem.

In your mail, you still had a typo: you wrote seqinr with an "u" -
maybe
that is the problem
