Hi, Sarah,
Thank you! I knew I was missing something obvious, but I couldn't figure it
out. I actually first typed install.packages(R.utils) and forgot the
quotations, so I got an error message:Error in install.packages : object
'R.utils' not found. I didn't know it was because of the quotation marks,
so I thought the name must be just "utils".
