Hi, I'm a R newbie having some problems.
The special PACKAGES file seems to be missing for version 3.6: https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/macosx/el-capitan/contrib/3.6/PACKAGES This is causing install.packages() to fail, which forces installation from source: > install.packages("tidyverse") also installing the dependencies ‘sys’, ‘ps’, ‘markdown’, ‘askpass’, ‘processx’, ‘knitr’, ‘yaml’, ‘htmltools’, ‘base64enc’, ‘curl’, ‘mime’, ‘openssl’, ‘callr’, ‘fs’, ‘rmarkdown’, ‘haven’, ‘httr’, ‘jsonlite’, ‘readxl’, ‘reprex’, ‘rvest’, ‘xml2’ Warning: unable to access index for repository https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/macosx/el-capitan/contrib/3.6: cannot open URL 'https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/macosx/el-capitan/contrib/3.6/PACKAGES' Packages which are only available in source form, and may need compilation of C/C++/Fortran: ‘sys’ ‘ps’ ‘markdown’ ‘askpass’ ‘processx’ ‘yaml’ ‘htmltools’ ‘base64enc’ ‘curl’ ‘mime’ ‘openssl’ ‘fs’ ‘haven’ ‘jsonlite’ ‘readxl’ ‘xml2’ Do you want to attempt to install these from sources? (Yes/no/cancel) Have I made som mistake or is this a real problem? Many thanks for any help.
