Hi All

I'm new to R, so I appreciate your help and patience. I am not able to install readtext. I've copied below the console information as well as my session information. Please help, thank you!

You are running a very old version of R, so I would suggest upgrading to the newest version supported by your OS (which is also quite old). That's likely why there are no binaries available for the dependency packages you need.
