Foreign package in R

I am fairly new to R and having some issues installing the foreign package. I get the following message:

package ‘foreign’ is not available (for R version 3.6.3)

from the following line of code: 

install.packages('foreign')

Can anyone help? Thanks!

You could update to R version 4. For R version 3, there are several options using version 0.8-76. You could install from source:

 install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/foreign/foreign_0.8-76.tar.gz")

Alternatively, you could use an old binary. For Windows:

install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.6/foreign_0.8-76.zip")

And for Mac:

install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/el-capitan/contrib/3.6/foreign_0.8-76.tgz")
