error after installing rtools40 when installing packages

I'm a beginner at R. I have updated R, Rstudio and rtools to the newest version(R for windows 4.0.2, Rstudio1.3.1073, rtools40). I have followed the instructions in RTools: Toolchains for building R and R packages from source on Windows
while downloading rtools40, I achieved to set the path, however, I ran into trouble while I installed the packages, I hope someone could answer my doubts.
here is my code:

file.edit('~/.Renviron')
writeLines('PATH="{RTOOLS40_HOME}\\usr\\bin;{PATH}"', con = "~/.Renviron")

Restarting R session...

Sys.which("make")
make
"C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-40~1.2\rtools40\usr\bin\make.exe"
install.packages("jsonlite", type = "source")
Warning in install.packages :

This seems like a connectivity issue, R is not being able to connect to the CRAN repository you have selected, these are some things to try.

  • Choose a different CRAN repository, RStudios repository is a good choice (http://cran.rstudio.com/) or you could choose one that is geographically closer to you.
  • Disable secure download setting.
  • Check if your internet connection has traffic restrictions of some kind, like a firewall, proxy server, etc. This is usually the case when you are at work or school.

thank you so much for your reply, I've chosen another cran mirror and disable secure setting, then it worked!!
