Unable to Open New Rmarkdown file

Hi Data Friends,

I am trying to open a new rmarkdown file and I keep getting errors. I have tried:
install.packages("markdown")

I keep getting the same. Error. Any help?

This seems like a connectivity issue, R is not being able to connect to 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.

This worked! Thank you so much!
