Question: I want to use the `skewness()` and `kurtosis()` functions from the *e1071* package. I have tried downloading the `e1071` package with 

```
install.packages("e1071", dep = TRUE) 

```

but it still doesn't seem to work. So I am wondering if it is the wrong version I installed. I've tried searching the CRAN site but I can't seem to find the version for R 2.15.0.

So I was wondering if I was doing it wrong or could someone please give me the link to the `e1071` package, version 2.15.0.

Answer: 
You could try this: 
 go to the

<https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/e1071/index.html> 

get the windows [Finding the windows binary file](http://i.stack.imgur.com/TaweP.jpg)binaries for the library and put it in your library folder within the R installation. Then load the library within R 

library(e1071)
 :)
This is how I did it for mac:
1) Download the binary - <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=e1071>
2) Run R CMD INSTALL e1071\_version.tgz
After this i tried to load the library but ran into the following problem. If you don't you can skip the step below.

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘e1071’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
 unable to load shared object '/Users/ME/anaconda3/lib/R/library/e1071/libs/e1071.so':

dlopen(/Users/ME/anaconda3/lib/R/library/e1071/libs/e1071.so, 6): Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/lib/libR.dylib
 Referenced from: /Users/ME/anaconda3/lib/R/library/e1071/libs/e1071.so
 Reason: image not found

3) Copy /Users/ME/anaconda3/lib/R/lib/libR.dylib /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/lib/libR.dylib

A soft link might work as well but i just copied the whole lib.
