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.

Thanks so much for your reply. I was already using the RStudio repository it appears. So I guess I could change it. I disabled the secure download method and ran the code again, still getting error messages. Not sure if it is any different:

also installing the dependencies ‘colorspace’, ‘utf8’, ‘Rcpp’, ‘farver’, ‘munsell’, ‘lifecycle’, ‘cli’, ‘ellipsis’, ‘fansi’, ‘pillar’, ‘pkgconfig’, ‘vctrs’, ‘glue’, ‘gtable’, ‘isoband’, ‘rlang’, ‘scales’, ‘tibble’, ‘withr’

changing the repository didnt seem to work. My wi-fi connection is working for me on the internet, and doesn't seem to have restrictions, it's my home network. How do I check that?
