title: Running lasso: package ‘glmnet’ is not available (for R version 3.4.3)
body: <p>I'm trying to run lasso. As far as I can see, glmnet is the most popular package. However, I'm unable to install it. Does anyone know why? I checked and this package was most recently updated in October 2019.</p>
  
  <p>Alternatively, are there other packages you'd recommend for running lasso? </p>
  
  <p>I've looked at the answers here and still can't figure out how to install glmnet.
