Error in library(preproc) : there is no package called ‘preproc’

While running this script of metaOmics-

shiny::runApp('metaOmics', port=9987, launch.browser=T)

Getting error like this-

You first need to install DMwR:

BiocManager::install('DMwR')

..or:

install.packages('DMwR')

Then try to install preproc

Already tried that and getting error like this-

 'getOption("repos")' replaces Bioconductor standard repositories, see '?repositories' for details

replacement repositories:
    CRAN: https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/CRAN

Bioconductor version 3.12 (BiocManager 1.30.12), R 4.0.5 (2021-03-31) Installing package(s) 'DMwR' Warning message: package ‘DMwR’ is not available for this version of R

A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere, see the ideas at https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-packages

Then you have to compile the latest of the archived releases https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/DMwR/ from source (tarball), see for how-to: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4739837/how-do-i-install-an-r-package-from-the-source-tarball-on-windows
