Try this:

install.packages(c("matrixStats", "Hmisc", "splines", "foreach", "doParallel", "fastcluster", "dynamicTreeCut", "survival"))

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")

biocLite(c("GO.db", "preprocessCore", "impute"))

or install locally : For Linux For Windows For Unix.

Try this:

install.packages("BiocManager")

BiocManager::install("WGCNA")

and what is the error? Is there any library missing or what you are getting there.

There is a trick that worked for me when I got such error. I installed all the packages manually which exit with non-zero exit status such:

install.packages(c('libraries list ', 'with', 'non-zero', 'error'))

enter all the packages name in it like acepack, impute etc and finally installed the package again with

BiocManager::install('WGCNA')

Yes. It is working for me. Thank you very much
