Hi, I'm very new to R and R studio. I have R studio on my desktop on windows 10 system. I was the only student having trouble downloading packages needed for class, such as tibble, dplyr... My TA wasn't able to solve my problem so HELP!!!! R version 3.6.0 I uninstalled my R and R studio and reinstalled them again but it still didn't work......

I turned off my firewall and antivirus already. I really don't know what else to do. PLS HELP ME!! Thanks in advance.
Do you have internet connectivity on this computer ? It seems like R does not manage to reach the web and http://cran.rstudio.com
Do you have a proxy to configure ?
I do have internet connection. I tried both school wifi and home wifi, but neither works. Sorry I don't really know about the 2nd question.
can you change your repository to https://cran.rstudio.com ?
In the IDE or with options(repos = c(CRAN = "https://cran.rstudio.com")) then try
options(repos = c(CRAN = "https://cran.rstudio.com"))
available.packages()
Do you have a result ? If so, internet access is ok.
this is what I got if I did it right
options(repos = c(CRAN = "https://cran.rstudio.com")) available.packages() Warning: unable to access index for repository https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib: cannot open URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/PACKAGES' Package Version Priority Depends Imports LinkingTo Suggests Enhances License License_is_FOSS License_restricts_use OS_type Archs MD5sum NeedsCompilation File Repository
you really seem to have internet connectivity from R on your PC. It is really difficult to help on this non R matter from where I am.
It's okay. I appreciate your help.
