Hi, Which version of R is suitable for installing the package RSkittleBrewer?

I get the following error messages when I try to install the package: package 'RSkittleBrewer' is not available (for R version 3.3.0) package 'RSkittleBrewer' is not available (for R version 3.4.2)

-Thanks

R gives that error also when you are missing dependencies.....was there more to the error message?

Have you tried the instructions here to install from github (found on the first page of google results)?
https://github.com/jtleek/genstats/issues/5

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("devtools") # only if devtools not yet installed
devtools::install_github('RSkittleBrewer', 'alyssafrazee')
biocLite("jtleek/genstats",ref="gh-pages")
