Unable to install bbplot package in R

I am unable to install "bbplot" package, I thought to install through devtools package, but it is not downloading as well. The following error appears while installing "devtools";
Warning in install.packages :
error 1 in extracting from zip file
Warning in install.packages :
cannot open compressed file 'DT/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory'
Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection
I have also tried to download using the following method but no success:
path <- "https://github.com/bbc/bbplot"
install.packages(path, repos = NULL, type = "source")
The following error appears, while installing through above method:
Error in getOctD(x, offset, len) : invalid octal digit
Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ‘C:/Users/work/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpyC6V4z/downloaded_packages/bbplot’ had non-zero exit status
For the beginning user who is not familiar with loading packages into R Studio, you will need to do the following in this order: 1) install the devtools package. 2) Restart R Studio 3) Open the devtools library 4) Use devtools to install the BBplot package 5) Run the bbplot package
install.packages("devtools") # Adds the devtools package to R Studio library
# Reboot Computer
libaray(devtools) # opens the devtools
devtools::install_github('bbc/bbplot') # Uses devtools to install bbplot package
library(bbplot) # opens bbplot

install.packages("devtools") fails

I'm new to installing packages and R,
It looks like my devtools library is missing.
I was trying to install swirl,

I tried running the command again

What steps should I take to get the devtools installed?
Many thanks! :)
I found a way around this,
In case it helps someone else :
*In Rstudio, it tuns out it is possible to install a package without downloading locally and without pointing to an URL (which I also had tried). Because it is integrated with CRAN-mirrors, I was able to simply type devtools in the box and select it from the existing drop-down menu.
It proved more efficient than trying to manually import it through RGui.*
I had the same issue, I just closed my RStudio and opened it, and it worked.

R - cannot access urls for package installation

I recently installed R Studio (Version 0.99.892) on a personal computer (windows 8) and am trying to install, among others, the following packages:
ggplot2;
dplyr;
rmarkdown;
tidyr.
Neither R nor R Studio is able to install any of these packages. Each time I attempt to install a package, I get the set of warnings I include at the bottom of this post.
I have used the install.packages command as well as the built-in package installation tool. I have tried several different mirrors.
I have tried a public university internet source, my own private internet source, and a phone tether. I have tried to connect through a VPN. I have added R Studio to my Windows Firewall exception list and have also completely disabled the Windows Firewall. I am running no other firewalls.
I have toggled the various connection options in the "Packages" tab in Global Options.
I can access the URLs in a browser.
Here are the warnings from R Studio:

There are several stackexchange posts on package installation in R and R Studio, but I was not able to find any that answered my particular situation. Thanks in advance to anyone that knows what's going on
Run this command:
options(repos="https://CRAN.R-project.org")
after that try install.packages;it should work.Tested on my system.
This has happened to me before. Try explicitly specifying the location:
install.packages("devtools", repos="https://cran.rstudio.com/")
You can indeed specify the location when using the install.packages() function with the argument repos=, but you can also choose your favorite repository which will be used each time you download a package.
options(repos="my_favorite_CRAN_mirror")
You can see a list of all availables mirrors on the CRAN website. Juste copy/paste the adress of the closest CRAN repository to you.
You should be able after this step to retry install.packages('ggplot2')
You should try following code:
install.packages("ggbiplot",dependencies = TRUE, repos = 'http://cran.rstudio.com/')
It will help you to install the packages for the error:
package is not available for this version
Run the following command in R terminal-
options(repos="https://CRAN.R-project.org")
then-
use-install.packages('library')
I want to add that I had this issue, but the fix was not in R, but in our system. Our IT guy said: For some unknown reason, the DNS resolver service was unable to resolve hostnames. I’ve restarted the resolvd service. The server can now resolve hostnames.
The error on his end was: Temporary failure in name resolution
I was having a similar error while trying to install the packages dplyr, tidyr packages.
I solved the issue by checking my R.version and downloading a new version of base R. (3.3.3)
Try this...
Tools-->Global Option--> Package
Change "Primary CRAN Repository" to htpps Location
This method fixed my issue
