Unable to install Rcpp package when loading forecast - r

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")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/~~~’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
There is a binary version available but the source version is later:

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.

Problems installing R package heplots

I tried to install R package "heplots" in R 4.1.3 using Rstudio but I get the following error:
Warning in install.packages :

This appeared when I used the install.packages function. If I download the .tar.gz file from CRAN and try to install it that way I get this message:
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/guill/Documents/R/win-library/4.1’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
ERROR: dependency 'car' is not available for package 'heplots'

Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ‘C:/Users/myuser/Downloads/heplots_1.3-9.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status
So I thought that if I install "car" then it would work. The problem is that the same happens with car and a lot of new dependenies appear (also the imports need to be installed), and when I try to install those manually they also have their own dependencies that need installing. I surrendered after the fourth layer of dependencies. Anyone knows how it should be done or am I stuck on manual dependency hell?

R Studio installing stringi fails

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:

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.

R will not install packages

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.

Rcpp installation

I just updated R to 3.4.0 and RStudio to 1.0.143, and I reinstalled some packages. Everything was ok except for Rcpp (and packages which require Rccp), I got this :
> install.packages("Rcpp")

What can I do ?

I also have a problem with devtools package...

I encountered the same issue while trying to set up someone else's computer. Brand new R installation (R version 3.4.1) but R was installed in a OneDrive folder. I also thought it was a permissions thing (as #nrussell commented) as the error was the same ... unable to move temporary installation ....
I had no issue installing devtools as normal (or any other packages) and even with Rtools installed Rcpp would not install by install.packages("Rcpp")`. Interestingly,
install.packages("Rcpp", type = 'source')
Did work after some compiling. Strange...
I had similar problem so, I installed a previous Rcpp release and worked.
install_version("Rcpp", version = "1.0.3", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")
What can you do? I would start by reading the error messages.
It clearly showed you that you are offered a different source and binary version. For the former you need tools. That is abundantly documented.
And by tomorrow CRAN will also have a new binary version for you. But with a new release made hours ago, you need to wait a moment. Or make your system capable of installing from source.

Getting a 404 error during installation of R gtools package

I'm getting a 404 error during the installation of the R gtools package:
> install.packages("gtools")
Installing package into ‘/Users/[...]/Library/R/3.1/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
trying URL 'http://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/gtools_3.4.2.tar.gz'
Warning in install.packages :
cannot open: HTTP status was '404 Not Found'
Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) :

Warning in install.packages :

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")
