install.packages("hms")

A 'library' is a directory (aka folder) that contains installed
'packages'.  I.e., one installs packages into a library, but one does
not install a library.

Hi: install.packages("hms") should work if you have R installed along with
an internet connection.

When you do above, if you get a message about other packages needing to be
installed, then use

install.packages("hms", dependencies = TRUE).

Maybe you used the wrong quotes with the parentheses?

Your opening quote looks slightly different from the closing quote. This probably explains why you received the error message regarding ?unexpected input?. 

I hope this helps.

It appears that 
install.libraries(?hms?)
is unsuccessful, but that
install.packages(?hms?)
is successful.

Dear Greg,

As I explained to you in a private email, and as others have told you, 
there is no Install.libraries() command, nor is there an 
install.libraries(0 command, but there is an install.packages() command.

So install.packages("hms") should work, on a Mac or on any other 
internet-connected computer on which R runs -- as you've also been told 
by others, this is not a Mac-specific issue. Note that the argument to 
install.packages must be quoted. See ?install.packages for details.

I'll also repeat the advice that I gave you privately to learn something 
about R before you try to use it, possibly starting with the "An 
Introduction to R" manual that ships with the standard R distribution.

Best,
  John
