Cannot install the shiny package in R

I am trying to install the shiny package in R but I keep getting this error:

package 'shiny'
* removing 'C:/Users/sawyer.keels/Documents/R/win-library/3.2/shiny'

The downloaded source packages are in

Warning messages:
1: running command '"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-32~1.4RE/bin/x64/R" CMD INSTALL -l "C:\Users\sawyer.keels\Documents\R\win-library\3.2" C:\Users\SAWYER~1.KEE\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpuWfNw6/downloaded_packages/shiny_1.1.0.tar.gz' had status 1 
2: In install.packages("shiny") :

If anyone has had this issue in the past I would appreciate the help. Thanks

Try installing the dependency packages:

install.packages(c("later","promises","rlang"))

Thereafter try to install shiny again:

install.packages("shiny")

Let me know if it works.

Unfortunately, the suggested solution did not solve my case as I detected the point of glitch as I attempted to install promises, which was magrittr seemed not installed. It was found in the error message lines. Thus, install.packages("magrittr"). Then promises was installed and httpuv as well. shiny is now installed normally. Issue resolved.

I updated r:

install.packages("installr")

and then: updateR()

This made the package run.
