I'm trying to invoke knit which tells me that it needs an updated version of rmarkdown which needs the package stringi.
When installing stringi I get the following error:
> install.packages("stringi")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/matan/Documents/R/win-library/3.4’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
binary source needs_compilation
stringi 1.1.5 1.1.6 TRUE
Binaries will be installed
trying URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/3.4/stringi_1.1.5.zip'
Warning in install.packages :

Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) :
cannot open URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/3.4/stringi_1.1.5.zip'
Warning in install.packages :
download of package ‘stringi’ failed
How can I fix this so I can finally knit my .RMD in peace?
Edit (Solution):
Download windows binary (r-release: stringi_1.1.6.zip) from https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/stringi/index.html
Install by > install.packages(".../Downloads/stringi_1.1.6.zip", repos = NULL, type = "source")
Simplest solution is download .zip or .tar.gz file from here and install it choosing in RStudio Tool -> Install packages..., change Install from: to Package Archive File and choose your downloaded file.

I have set up an AWS and I am trying to install a package. I run the following but get an error.

I am not sure how I can proceed with this from here… Do you know of something I can run in the terminal to install this package?
EDIT: Using Ubuntu 18
Solved (I think)
I downloaded the package from GitHub: https://github.com/nwstephens/RStudioAMI
Uploaded this .zip to the server and then;
In R studio I created a new Project and then selected build -> Build Source Package which seemed to work.
The error:
Warning in install.packages : cannot open URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/3.4/tm_0.7-1.zip': HTTP status was '404 Not Found' Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) : cannot open URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/3.4/tm_0.7-1.zip' Warning in install.packages : download of package ‘tm’ failed
It can happen sometimes. My suggestion is to download the .zip or .tar.gz file from CRAN and install it through the user interface:
Tools -> Install packages -> Install from: "Package Archive File"
RStudio is not letting me install any new packages. As an example, I attempted to install "rio" today and got the following message:

Any help on deciphering and fixing this error?
While trying to install the rio package in Microsoft windows. I faced an error. In order to resolve that issue, I googled and came to this page.
I know this post is a bit old post but thought to share it for those who face a similar issue in installing this package.
Similar to this post:
Error: "there is no package called ..." and trying to use install.packages to solve it
I could only install rio when I used the command:
install.packages('rio', dependencies = TRUE, repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')
Perhaps it can help you successfully install the required packages as it ensures that dependencies are also installed along with the required package.
When I try to load the forecast package it trows me the error that there is not Rcpp package which it depends on
by trying to install Rcpp package manually i get the following error
install.packages("Rcpp")

This is a likely duplicate. You misunderstand the meaning of There is a binary version available but the source version is later..
Install from source, use a different mirror, or just wait.
The 0.12.11 binary is clearly there in Vienna and at the 0-cloud mirrors.
I'm getting a 404 error during the installation of the R gtools package:

Apparently, the latest version is not 3.4.2, but 3.5.0 (see http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/gtools/index.html), so I'm wondering if this explains the error. How do I install gtools (either 3.4.2 or 3.5.0 are fine)? My current setup is OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), R version 3.1.3, RStudio 0.99.437.
The version 3.5 should work with R 2.1 and higher. I would suggest that you download the package source tar.gz file available here and attempt to install using the command below:
install.packages("path_to_your_file/gtools_3.5.0.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")
