There are some CSV file from the link below. 

I'm having trouble installing the package. Is this the package I have to use
or is there another one I need to use? If so how do I get this one loaded.

Packages of type="source" are not generally distributed as zip files. So R is unable to find it in the CRAN source directory. If you do want source you will also need RTools. But why not install as a binary file?
