I cannot thank everyone enough! For closure and future reference I listed below the steps I took.
Completely Uninstall R and Everything Associated With It Install R V3.1.1 Mavericks Install gfortran V4.8 with the following command: curl -s http://r.research.att.com/libs/gfortran-4.8.2-darwin13.tar.bz2 | sudo tar fxj - -C / Open R, and run these code lines first: install.packages("Defaults”) Install.packages("devtools”) install.packages("zoo”) After Succesful Install Run These Codes Line By Line: install.packages("quantstrat", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org";, type="source”) install.packages("TTR", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org";, type="source”) Last But Not Least, I Ran These install_github(repo"IKTrading", username = "IlyaKipnis”) install_github(repo"DSTrading", username = "IlyaKipnis”) Installed RStudio All that said and done, everything installed and is now working properly. I’m not sure if it was the Macbook Update/gfortran 4.8/Using R to install everything first, but it’s working. This is what I’m going to recommend to other mac users on the tutorial forum that were having issues. Thanks again to the 10/15 of you who e-mailed me and contributed! Regards, Jason E.
