Error while installing RSelenium in R

I am getting following error when I try to install the RSelenium package.

install.packages("RSelenium")  
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/nshukla/Documents/R/win-library/3.2’

There is a binary version available but the source version is later:

  RSelenium  1.6.2  1.7.1             FALSE

The binman package imports semver to parse semantic version strings. This depends on C++11. A version of R >= 3.3.0 is needed to install this. You would need to upgrade your version of R.

This worked for me:

install.packages('RSelenium', type="win.binary")

You could do this:

    library(devtools)
    install_version("binman", version = "0.1.0", repos = "https://cran.uni-muenster.de/")
    install_version("wdman", version = "0.2.2", repos = "https://cran.uni-muenster.de/")
    install_version("RSelenium", version = "1.7.1", repos = "https://cran.uni-muenster.de/")
