Hi,
It didn't work out. This is what I got:
install.packages(c("httr","memoise","devtools"))
Installing packages into
‘C:/Users/Wahl/Documents/R/win-library/3.4’

I selected a CRAN mirror in KS, and then it tried to do something but failed. The one thing I have noticed today though is that my internet connection is very very slow,
so I guess that could be a factor. This is the only laptop in the apartment and I'm on broadband, and usually don't have this connection problem. Any other ideas, or should
I just try this again tomorrow?
