Dear friends, Hope you are doing great. I have installed R version 4.2.0 and RStudio 2022.02.2 Build 485 "Prairie Trillium" Release (8acbd38b, 2022-04-19) for Windows. Last week, I developed a model in RStudio and was able to install and load many packages, but now RStudio is behaving oddly. I get the following errors whenever I try installing packages(which was not happening to me last week): https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/Rtools/ Warning in install.packages : unable to access index for repository https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib : cannot open URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/PACKAGES' Warning in install.packages : package ?Rtools? is not available for this version of R A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere, see the ideas at https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-packages Warning in install.packages : unable to access index for repository https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/4.2: cannot open URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/4.2/PACKAGES ' I try to install Rtools but was not able to. Any clues on what could be happening? Best regards, Paul

Can you open the URL manually? Or any of the mirrors at https://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html ? You can try using a different mirror by using chooseCRANmirror().
Best regards, Ivan
Sounds like an RStudio problem. 1. Try another repository. Try downloading packages manually from R. See ?install.packages, ?setRepositories . 2. Have you tried posting in RStudio's Help site: https://community.rstudio.com/ Bert Gunter "The trouble with having an open mind is that people keep coming along and sticking things into it." -- Opus (aka Berkeley Breathed in his "Bloom County" comic strip )

A) You are repeatedly referring to RStudio... if you have a problem with RStudio, it is off-topic here and most people won't know how to fix it. RStudio occasionally gets out of sync with R and (the majority of us) don't keep track of that status here. Assuming the problem is with R (you confirm this by using R or RGui directly and seeing the same errors)... B) When the R error messages say they cannot find the index, then that means you either have the wrong CRAN mirror URL (there is a whole list of them you can try) or there is some kind of network storm that will blow over if you try again later. C) Finally, Rtools is not an R package... you will never succeed installing Rtools using install.packages. Use your web browser to look on CRAN for Rtools42 software and download the corresponding Windows setup program and run it. You should read and follow the instructions [1]. I am pretty sure you will need to re-start R so it will find Rtools. [1] https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/rtools42/rtools.html

Dear Jeff and R friends, I fixed the issue. The problem was due to the fact that I had R version 4.1.2 and installed the newer version R 4.2. Since RStudio automatically points to the latest R version installed, there were a lot of packages that were not installed. I just made RStudio point to an older R version and the issue was solved.

Hello, If that was the problem you should run update.packages(). It can take a lot of time dpending on how many packages you have installed but it will avoid you having to update the packages one by one. Hope this helps, Rui Barradas ?s 15:57 de 13/05/2022, Paul Bernal escreveu:
