[Victoria.A]

Hello,

I am trying to install the forecast package and I get the next error:

install.packages("forecast")
Warning in install.packages :
** unable to access index for repository https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib:**
** no fue posible abrir la URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/PACKAGES'**

Well as I am new member I can only write two url per post, I will post the rest in new entries...

Could anyone help me?? Please.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you!!

To avoid all this mess, next time post the output as formatted code (that will avoid the one link per post limitation).

FAQ: How to format your code

Formatting Code: the Basics All code or console output you include in your posts should be formatted properly. Luckily, this is very easy to do! Just use the code formatting button at the top of the post editing box: [image] Select some code Click the </> button! The code formatting button automatically adds special Markdown formatting symbols to whatever you selected. If you check the preview pane to the right of your post, you'll see that the forum software now outputs nicely formatted code . [04] The code formatting button is pretty smart! It can tell the difference between snippets of code that are part of a sentence and blocks of code that stand alone. …

About your problem, 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 for the help.
Excuse me but could you tell me, where to find the options menu? It isn't in File, isn't it?
I will start looking there.

Furethermore I know that my antivirus is cutting some connections like in the Firewall. I had tried to install the package disconnecting the antivirus but it didn't work.
