I downloaded the latest version this morning from the web to have the last update.
On this, I can not install the package "raster":
> install.packages('raster')
WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages but is not currently installed. Please download and install the appropriate version of Rtools before proceeding:

Installing package into ‘C:/Users/florent/Documents/R/win-library/3.3’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘raster’ is not available (for R version 3.3.1)
I have checked many help online but I can´t find the solution. I did an update of R (to 4.0.2) with which this raster package is working.
Anyone has a solution for this? It begins to be tricky...
Thanks!
It appears that you updated RStudio, but not R. RStudio is a program to make it easier to use R. So what you need to do is install the current version of R. As you can see from your version, you are using a version from 2016. That is ancient in the R world.
In RStudio you can look under Tools / Global Options / General / R version and perhaps change the R version if multiple versions are available.

As stated in the question: the installation which worked fine in the past seems to be broken. Any ideas how to solve this issue?
There has been a similar issue in the past, but I am not sure, if it is a similar problem. Although the output only states a warning, the installation does not succeed.

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) :

Rendering R Markdown documents

Issue and Question:
I have installed the newest edition of the free version of RStudio and seem to be having trouble rendering HTML documents from .Rmd files. It appears that I need a newer version of stringr, knitr and rmarkdown however when I try to update.packages it says, "Packages are up to date". I check the repos and it has CRAN and CRANextra for repos and also tried to install packages via install.packages. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

The error is pretty self-explanatory. catboost is not available from CRAN (but see e.g. here for a discussion).
You can however install catboost if you follow the installation guide available from the catboost GitHub project site. Specifically, the installation instructions for installing catboost on a Windows machine can be found on Install from a local copy on Windows.
From the latter link:
It is strongly recommended to install the released version. Try it if other installation methods result in errors.
Windows installation currently requires Visual C++ 2017 Build Tools.
Training on GPU requires NVIDIA Driver of version 390.xx or higher.
It's probably also worth taking a look at the project's GitHub issues, e.g. Building and installing problem in R. Good luck.
Am I making some basic error here?
install.packages("XML")
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘XML’ is not available (for R version 2.13.0)
Installing package(s) into ‘C:/Program Files/R/R-2.13.0/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘XML’ is not available (for R version 2.13.0)
It is probably because www.omegahat.org doesn't exist anymore. So,
command install.packages("XML", repos = "http://www.omegahat.org/R")
does not work. Instead use below:
install.packages("XML", repos = "http://www.omegahat.net/R")
There can be two conditions when you see such error:
The package does not exist in the library (you should install it
from it's own library)
The package is not compatible with your R
version (you should change your R version that is compatible, if you
can afford it)
For the first condition, search on internet and read about the package you want to install and check the provider and repository (for this case, XML, it is official R package)
For the second condition, you can find the information in the following link:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/XML/index.html
you can check your R version by typing the following command into your R shell:
version
which will give you all the information, for e.g:
_
platform x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0
arch x86_64
os darwin10.8.0
system x86_64, darwin10.8.0

First update the R-core:
version
install.package('installr')
library(installr)
updateR()
Then install the XML module:
install.packages("XML")
What worked for me is downloading the old release of the XML package and installing from the package archive
install.packages("~/R/win-library/3.6/XML_3.99-0.3.zip", repos = NULL, type = "win.binary").
