I am struggling to install a fix for the rNOMADS package which reads National Weather Service data. I copied the fix (rNOMADS_2.5.0.tar.gz) from an email to a local drive and then tried to install it with the command below. I also tried installing it without the .tar.gz extension and without the _2.5.0 extension but I get the same error message. The author, Daniel Bowman, emailed me that the fix should work for R version 4.0 or better.
Do I need to untar it?
install.packages("C://Documents/Ballooning/WeatherBriefing/rNOMADS_2.5.0.tar.gz")
Installing package into ?C:/Users/Owner/Documents/R/win-library/4.0?
(as ?lib? is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
package ?C://Documents/Ballooning/WeatherBriefing/rNOMADS_2.5.0.tar.gz? is not available (for R version 4.0.2)

Add the arguments type="source" and repos=NULL to your call to install.packages(). repos=NULL means that this is a local file, not something to download from a repository. Bill Dunlap TIBCO Software wdunlap tibco.com
