I am using R 3.2.2 on a UNIX server (this is installed to my HOME).
Any package that I try to install returns an error message like this:
install.packages('knitr')
Warning: unable to access index for repository
https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib
Warning message:
package ‘knitr’ is not available (for R version 3.2.2)
I've also tried downloading the package source and installing manually, but that doesn't work:
install.packages('/home/baker/knitr_1.11.tar.gz',repos= NULL,type='source')
ERROR: dependencies ‘evaluate’, ‘digest’, ‘formatR’, ‘highr’, ‘markdown’, ‘stringr’, ‘yaml’ are not available for package ‘knitr’
* removing ‘/home/baker/R/lib64/R/library/knitr’
Warning message:
In install.packages("/home/baker/knitr_1.11.tar.gz", repos = NULL, :
installation of package ‘/home/baker/knitr_1.11.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status
This is obviously a super frustrating problem...any ideas? I'm at a total loss.

I just installed R and Rstudio and I'm new to programming in general.
I just tried to install "ggally" library for data visualization but it's showing me the following repetetive error.
Am I doing something wrong?

I think you should be conservative about it and do two steps first:
1- If you have an active Antivirus on your computer, temporarily disable it.
2- If you use RStudio, close the software, right-click on the icon and choose Run as administrator to open it.
Then, you can re-install the package with the right repository address as below:
install.packages('GGally', dependencies=TRUE, repos="https://CRAN.R-project.org/")
library(GGally)
I hope it helps.

RStudio is the latest version.
The goal is to run an R notebook in some form so if anyone could recommend a good how to that would also be fine!

It appears that I am only unable to install the 'nlme' package and the other two installs are failing because it is a dependency.

plase can anyone guide me in this matter!
Install version 1.8.1 of plyr from http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/plyr
and everything works like a charm thanks to #nicola for helping me on this one
For Windows, the appropriate version of plyr can be found in the R 3.0 Windows Package Archive.
