Hello, I recently upgraded my version of R and find I need to reinstall packages (unless there is some method to import my old profile and files). I have set my repository to CRAN and set my CRAN mirror to US, NY. If I select "packages > install packages" in the R console, I get a message, "no packages were specified". I thought this command gave me a list of packages available to install. If I select, "packages > update packages", I get the message, Warning: unable to access index for repository https://mirrors.sorengard.com/cran/src/contrib: internet routines cannot be loaded Error in gzfile(file, mode) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In gzfile(file, mode) : cannot open compressed file 'C:\DOCUME~1\BASIC_~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\RtmpqiUPQX/libloc_185_34943e0b.rds', probable reason 'No such file or directory' I have done a search on, "internet routines cannot be loaded" and don't find anything that looks relevant. i have installed some packages manually from local zip files, but many packages have a large number of dependencies and it would take forever to download them all. Can someone help me to get this working? Thanks, LMH
internet routines cannot be loaded, R 3.5.0

Hi, install.packages() will install packages you specify, update.packages(ask = FALSE, checkBuilt = TRUE) is a useful way to update all installed packages after a major R update. Your specific error message is probably because the sorengard mirror is down: https://cran.r-project.org/mirmon_report.html#us Pick a different mirror, and it should work. Sarah

You are thinking of the command line function "installed.packages", not the menu function or the package installation function "install.packages"
The latter needs a list of packages to install. The former tells you what is already installed.
