farver package download blocked by IT

[jv188305]

I have installed tidyverse but there is some issue with ggplot2. I have had to change the download location to my local machine, and when I try to create a plot there is an error.

Error in `geom_point()`:
! Problem while converting geom to grob.
ℹ Error occurred in the 1st layer.
Caused by error in `loadNamespace()`:
! there is no package called ‘farver’
Run `rlang::last_error()` to see where the error occurred.

When I try to download the farver package I get the following error. Have tried also install.packages("farver", dependencies = TRUE) and both return this error.

> install.packages('farver')

When I go to the URL it says it's blocked by my IT as sandbox malware. Any way around this?

Any way around this?

If you are asking for help to dodge your corporate firewall, that sounds unethical/risky.
Recommend you talk to your IT people about having them help you have the tools to be effective in your role.
