Dear Sir, I am using R on Windows OS platform. I upgraded my R-system to version R-3.5.0. While upgrading my libraries in R as well as in RStudio, I am stuck up in the package 'data.table', which is required by many other packages in R-codes in my R-Markdown files.
I tried to install 'data.table' from "USA-berkely" and "UK-bristol" as well as "RStudio" mirrors when the following errors are being shown: >From USA-berkely and UK-bristol mirrors: ================================= Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation of C/C++/Fortran: ‘data.table’ These will not be installed Warning message: In download.file(url, destfile = f, quiet = TRUE) : InternetOpenUrl failed: '' >From RStudio mirror: ================ Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation of C/C++/Fortran: ‘data.table’ These will not be installed Afterwards, I consulted google users, I downloaded the source package: "data.table_1.10.4-3.tar.gz" from CRAN, stored it on desktop, and tried following command for installing from source only: install.packages("C:\\Users\\Dr. A.K. Singh\\Desktop\\data.table_1.10.4-3.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type="source") This generated following errors messages: > install.packages("C:\\Users\\Dr. A.K.
