Issue installing package 'quantmod'

I keep having this error when I try to install quantmod package from the CRAN repository:

install.packages("quantmod")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/Dominic/Documents/R/win-library/3.2’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
also installing the dependencies ‘xts’, ‘zoo’, ‘TTR’

Packages which are only available in source form, and may need compilation of
  C/C++/Fortran: ‘xts’ ‘zoo’ ‘TTR’ ‘quantmod’
  These will not be installed

I also downloaded the .gz files locally and install but get the following error:

Installing package into ‘C:/Users/Dominic/Documents/R/win-library/3.2’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
ERROR: dependencies 'xts', 'zoo', 'TTR' are not available for package 'quantmod'

1- Download the latest version from: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.4/quantmod_0.4-8.zip

2- unzip it in your package directory. It can be found with: .libPaths()

3- Make sure the folder name reads "quantmod" in your package directory.

4- Type in library("quantmod")
