Hey,
To solve the package installation problem, you should have R devtools
installed on your machine and this will allow you to install packages
archived by CRAN (there is a more detailed answer on how to achieve this on
the stack exchange forum if you look it up). I suggest to you as well to
install the archived package pedantics as well which has solutions for
fixing pedigrees.
Concerning the bivariate animal model you want to model, I recall there
being an example of both a bivariate model and one with repeated records in
the MCMCglmm tutorial pdf file for constructing animal models - it's
available online.
Good luck,
Walid

Dear Professor Jarrod Hadfield,
It is my absolute hope that you are doing well in this pandemic. Thank you
for taking your precious time to read my email. My name is Wondessen
Ayalew. In the meantime, I am M.Sc. student at Bahir Dar University,
Ethiopia, and trying to fit a bivariate animal model based on repeated
records using the MCMCglmm package of R. However, I have faced technical
error to ordering the pedigree and writing code for bivariate repeatability
model. So far, even though both MasterBayes and pedantics are removed from
CRAN, I tried to install the latest archive of both packages but both of
them were not integrated to my R v.3.6.1. Software.
If you have some time, please help me with how to fix the problem and where
to get the codes for bivariate repeatability animal models.
I know you have a very busy schedule, thank you in advance for your
professional assistance! I look forward to your positive response.
For your convenience, I have attached a pedigree, full data, and the error
messages below.
Sincerely,
Wondessen Ayalew
