if (!require("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))

install.packages("BiocManager") BiocManager::install() 'getOption("repos")' replaces Bioconductor standard repositories, see '?repositories' for details replacement repositories: CRAN: https://rweb.crmda.ku.edu/cran

Bioconductor version 3.14 (BiocManager 1.30.16), R 4.1.3 (2022-03-10)

Did it even install?

If it didnt install how do I fix this? ```

You seem to be combining commands intended for different purposes out of context. All you actually need is:

install.packages("BiocManager")
library(BiocManager)
install("biomaRt")

And you should execute these commands one at a time, not all together.

replacement repositories:
    CRAN: https://rweb.crmda.ku.edu/cran

Bioconductor version 3.14 (BiocManager 1.30.16), R 4.1.3 (2022-03-10)
Warning message:
package(s) not installed when version(s) same as current; use `force = TRUE` to re-install: 'biomaRt'

I am getting this error still what am I doing wrong?

There is no error. The output clearly shows that you have the BiocManager and biomaRt packages both installed already. So there seems to be no problem.

What about this?

The message tells you that the version of the package that you already have installed is the same as the latest version on Bioconductor ("version same as current"), hence it won't re-download and re-install the package for no purpose.

Honestly, have you not tried simply typing library(biomaRt)?

yeah I finally got it to work thank you. It is my first time using bioconducotor so I am having a lot of issues.
