The following lines prompt an error (which differs from this question):
library(devtools)
install_github("StatsWithR/statsr") # the same for any other open repos
The error is this:
Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub:
Error -50 setting GnuTLS cipher list starting with +VERS-TLS1.3
Then I wanted to work around the problem caused by devtools, so I tried githubinstall, but the error became this:
Error in curl::curl_download(input, tmpFile, mode = "wb", quiet = !showProgress) :
Error -50 setting GnuTLS cipher list starting with +VERS-TLS1.3
It seems obvious that the issue is caused by GnuTLS and I found a similar thread: git/jenkins TLS issue, but I cannot find some hints there.
I also tried install_url, install_local, and install_git, but all failed.

I have been stuck with devtools and install_github. What can I try next?
I installed the r-base and Rstudio using apt install in an existing container, and the default settings(the default r version is 3.4.4) caused the issues I met, then I purged the r environment and created a new one in a new Docker container following this blog: Running RStudio Server with Docker.

Till yesterday, I was able to install this package successfully. But today it is throwing this error.
This error happens with other packages like stringr as well. I tried chaging CRAN mirrors as well but still no help
Can help please?
I have downloaded a R package and installed from local files. Next I tried to install a package, with many imports, through Install package(s), I could not install. I closed R and restarted R, now I am able to install packages, with many imports. Rahul, R user.
This error typically happens because R cannot access the default directory for installing the packages. This error is a system-related error. Try this solution. It worked out for me. I changed the default installation directory in the environment variables and it worked smoothly.
I´m trying to install the library ssev: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ssev/index.html
On a machine with R 3.6.0
install.packages("ssev")
And I´m getting the following error:
“unable to access index for repository http://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib:
cannot open URL 'http://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/PACKAGES'”
Warning message:
“package ‘ssev’ is not available (for R version 3.6.0)”
What I do not understand is why I´m getting this error, when the requiered version for this library is 3.4, as shown in CRAN:
The installation does work with a more recent versions of R like 3.6.3, but in the machine I need it I do not have the option to install a newer version.
I'm using R version 3.6.1 and only getting a warning about the using the library. Generally, you can ignore these and it will still work. If it's not, try updating the package and post the results of trying to load the library and also run version to show info on your setup as I did below:
> library(ssev)
Warning messages:
1: In recycle.data(data, FALSE, length(x), units) :

2: package ‘ssev’ was built under R version 3.6.3

I'm getting the following error:
Error in install.packages :
cannot open file 'C:/Users/Gabriel/Documents/R/win-library/3.5/file19281116cee/Rcpp/doc/Rcpp-attributes.pdf':
Permission denied
Thanks a lot for your help.
I solved it with this answer. It's R is installed as if it needs constant admin privileges. That answer shows the correct way of doing it without running into the problem again.
I ran into same problem, most times it is an antivirus shield issue! Ensure all shields are down, then retry installation.
I had the same problem and it gave me a headache but the Error with : Permission Denied, as you put it across can be solved by checking the antivus. R studio can be blacklisted by the antivirus, so look at the setting. I am using AVG and surely the application was blacklisted. When I removed it from th blacklist, packages were installed successfully
I have been trying to install packages from MRAN, specifically bsts amoung others. If I run:
install.packages(c("Boom","BoomSpikeSlab", "bsts"),repos = "https://mran.revolutionanalytics.com/snapshot/2016-01-01/")
I get the following output:
Warning in install.packages :
URL 'https://mran.revolutionanalytics.com/snapshot/2016-01-01/bin/macosx/mavericks/contrib/3.3/PACKAGES.gz': status was '404 Not Found'

Warning in install.packages :
unable to access index for repository https://mran.revolutionanalytics.com/snapshot/2016-01-01/bin/macosx/mavericks/contrib/3.3:
cannot download all files
Packages which are only available in source form, and may need compilation of C/C++/Fortran: ‘Boom’ ‘BoomSpikeSlab’ ‘bsts’
Do you want to attempt to install these from sources?
y/n:
I also get the same result when changing the repository location using options(). A simple solution would be simply to install from source as below:
install.packages(c("Boom","BoomSpikeSlab", "bsts"),repos = "https://mran.revolutionanalytics.com/snapshot/2016-01-01/",type = "source")
However what doesn't make sense is that, when you check the repository on your browser, the binaries appear to be available:
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bsts/index.html (CRAN)
https://mran.revolutionanalytics.com/snapshot/2016-01-01/web/packages/bsts/index.html (MRAN)
Additionally I would prefer not to have to compile the source code, especially as R's compiler is out of date...
Previous stack overflow questions have suggested this is because the repository is down, however this doesn't make sense as the binaries can be accessed through the browser. So is there an issue with MRAN, is there an issue with install.packages?
I should note I have tried executing this code in both RStudio and R through the terminal. Additionally, for reference, this is my system details:

Thanks in advance for the help.
I've now solved this problem. When calling from the MRAN repository using install.packages you need to capitalise "MRAN" part of the URL.
So this works:
install.packages("bsts", repos = "https://MRAN.revolutionanalytics.com/snapshot/2016-06-01/")
And this only works from source:
install.packages("bsts", repos = "https://mran.revolutionanalytics.com/snapshot/2016-06-01/")
Since upgrading to OS X Yosemite 10.10.2, I have been unable to use RCurl to send POSTs via SSL. The error message I get is:
Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE) :
SSLRead() return error -9806
This strongly resembles the curl error here: osx 10.10 Curl POST to HTTPS url gives SSLRead() error
So I ran the instructions to install libcurl via home-brew, per the answers on that question, but I cannot figure out how to link RCurl to the new libcurl. curl-config still returns the old installation of libcurl.

Figured it out!
First, I installed brew from homebrew:
brew install --with-libressl curl
Then, I copied the curl-config in place:
sudo cp /usr/bin/curl-config /usr/bin/curl-config.bak
sudo cp /usr/local/opt/curl/bin/curl-config /usr/bin/curl-config
Then, I reinstalled RCurl:
install.packages("RCurl", type="source")
And it worked again.
