Depending on your OS, there might be a better chance of success with
install.packages("ggplot2", dependencies=TRUE)
The Linux install process doesn't need this but the binary install on MacOS
or Windows may need this to prevent the sort of error message that was offered.

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

can I do to move forward?
