cannot open the connection Error in R

Question

I'm getting the following error while trying to execute a simple program in R. whta does the error mean and how do i get rid of it?

Answer 1

There can be two reasons for this error to show up when running an R script:

1. A file/connection can’t be opened because R can’t find it (mostly due to an error in the path)
2. Failure in .onLoad() because a package can’t find a system dependency
