installing tikzDevices for R 3.2.3
Please do not use http://r-forge.r-project.org/ to install tikzDevice. We no longer update tikzDevice on R-Forge. It may be a problem of your CRAN mirror. When in doubt, try the RStudio mirror (the chance that Amazon CloudFront is down should be much smaller than a single metal server somewhere): install.packages("tikzDevice", repos="https://cran.rstudio.com") # make sure your version of R supports https Regards, Yihui -- Yihui Xie <xieyihui at gmail.com> Web: http://yihui.name On Fri, Jan 15, 2016 at 9:37 PM, Ranjan Maitra

Hi, I wanted to install tikzDevices on a installation of R (3.2.3) on a new machine. However, I am getting:
install.packages('tikzDevices')
Warning message: package ?tikzDevices? is not available (for R version 3.2.3) Is there any way out for me other than wait for the tikzDevices to be updated in the repos? I am on Fedora 23 with everything up to date. Many thanks in advance for any suggestions and best wishes, Ranjan
Sorry to answer my own question, but I found a way out (only specific to tikzDevices):
install.packages("tikzDevice", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
It would be nice to have a general approach, especially when R updated does not mostly mean that packages installed under and earlier version of R stop working.
Best wiehes,
Ranjan
