I can't install package ggplot2

What can I do?

Error:
install.packages("ggplot2")
WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages but is not currently installed. Please download and install the appropriate version of Rtools before proceeding:

I tried with Rtools too:

install.packages("Rtools")

RTools is not an R package it is a separate software that you have to install in your system (not in R). Just follow the link from the error message.

This seems like a connectivity issue, R is not being able to download the package from 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.
