If you are using Rstudio, it is farily easy to install packages, just go to Tools on navigation bar, click on Install Packages....
You can do it in two ways:
Download the Cran packages from: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/fGarch/index.html, and choose "Install from Package Archive File"
Choose "Install from Repository", and type in fGarch, it will search,download, and install it for you automatically.

install.packages("fGarch", type = "source")- there are no binaries (for Windows, at least), but if you have a local FORTRAN compiler you're in business. $\endgroup$
