Should I be able to install binary packages on fedora

[statquant_2]

Hello,
I was trying to install rstudio binary packages following https://packagemanager.rstudio.com/client/#/repos/1/overview but it does not seem to work.

I started R —vanilla and added the rhel 8 repo

options(repos = c(REPO_NAME = "https://packagemanager.rstudio.com/all/__linux__/centos8/latest"))

then removed data.table and tried to install again install.packages(“data.table”) but it still installed from sources.
Did I do something wrong? should it work for fedora 32 ?

Many thanks

PS: because binary installs are not done using is package manager I assume I can still install in my local library as my user ?

Hi @statquant_2,

Try renaming the repo to CRAN? You can also double check that your repos have been set correctly by double-checking options('repos').

What is the output of:

options(repos = c(CRAN = "https://packagemanager.rstudio.com/all/__linux__/centos8/latest"))
options("repos")
install.packages("data.table")

thank you @alexkgold
I solved the issue I had to setup the HTTPAgent. It was actually in the docs so that’s on me.
Thanks for your help
