Installation of quantmod need curl & TTR packages. You should do something like this.

install.packages("curl")
install.packages("TTR"")
install.packages("quantmod")

> install.packages("curl") Installing package(s) into ‘/home/rstudio/R/i686-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.14’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified) Warning in install.packages : package ‘curl’ is not available (for R version 2.14.1) How do I continue from here? – Roy.L Sep 22 '17 at 02:02
