You didn't install it, you got errors during the install.

I'm not sure why there was no attempt to install Rcpp (which was 
required by rio, see the error message).  Perhaps the mirror you used 
doesn't have it?  I'd recommend using the cloud.r-project.org mirror 
rather than a local one in almost any case.

In any case, Neal's advice to update R is likely to make your life a lot 
easier.
