Unable to install R packages in version 3.6.2

I recently updated RStudio on my Mac to v. 3.6.2 and now realize I have been unable to install any packages, including ggplot2. I have tried many of the solutions suggested on this forum and nothing has worked. I'm not sure what else to do.

install.packages('ggplot2')
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘ggplot2’ is not available (for R version 3.6.2)
Warning in install.packages :
unable to access index for repository http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/macosx/el-capitan/contrib/3.6:

I think the package you are looking for is ggplot2. So install.packages("ggplot2")

This is due to a sync problem at CRAN today. All should be well tomorrow. In the meantime, use the

install.packages(“name_of_package”, repo = "https://mac.R-project.org")

That's a typo on my end.

install.packages("ggplot2") wasn't working either. But it appears everything is working again now? It must have just been a coincidence that I upgraded to v.3.6.2 today and everything stopped working.

Thank you for this. It appears to be working again!
