Hi Meeryana,

It seems you have not loaded the package.  To use a package that you 
already installed, do:

 > library(copula)

I recommend you review the R documentation.  There are several good 
references and tutorial on the CRAN site:

http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html
http://cran.r-project.org/other-docs.html

Any time you spend learning the basics will make your work more 
efficient. :)
Good luck,

Julian
