R help - Apr 2022 - ggplot2

Hi there,

I am finally getting to some material I had problems with in university,
where I was introduced to R - one of those that because of time
constraints, I had challenges figuring out, particularly because I decided
long ago on using Fedora Linux. The book, "Understanding Statistics Using
R" by Andy Field et. al., says to install ggplot2 into R and the version of
R that the dnf command installs will neigher install this package nor
'scales'. The result I get is below, and I attempted installing the
packages via the tar command, and that neither worked, and I attempted
library("ggplot2") and R said the package was unavailable. What can I
do to
move forward?

Thanks,

Richard

Richard,
> ?install.packages
probably what you want.

cheers.

install.packages("ggplot2")
library(ggplot2)

An alternative
install.packages("tidyverse")
library(tidyverse)

The first only installs ggplot2. The alternative installs a bunch of other stuff
as well.
