I am trying to run an R application(on Ubuntu 16.04.6) which uses the 'car' package, but everything I tried ended with the following error package ‘car’ is not available (for R version 3.4.4) . What should I do?

    The [information page on CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/car/index.html) states that R >= 3.5.0 is required. Do any of the answers [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25721884/how-should-i-deal-with-package-xxx-is-not-available-for-r-version-x-y-z-wa) help? Or see [here](https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/) to update your version of R on Ubuntu. – Ben Bolker May 20 '20 at 20:59
  • You could try [older versions](https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/car/) of the car package, not recommended though. Better update your R version, currently 4.0.0 is up to date, you have 3.4.4. – jay.sf May 20 '20 at 22:11
  • To add to the answer by @jay.sf, you can install a specific older version by using the devtools. See [here](https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/219949047-Installing-older-versions-of-packages) – bzki May 21 '20 at 02:41
  • I've tried a lot of things(what you suggested and another ones), but I can't update the R version. What should I do? I've also update my Ubuntu version. Now it is 18.04 – Sam Stewart May 21 '20 at 21:19
