[R] Issue when trying to install or load packages in RStudio

[Bert Gunter]

Sounds like an RStudio problem.

1. Try another repository. Try downloading packages manually from R.
See ?install.packages, ?setRepositories  .

2. Have you tried posting in RStudio's Help site: https://community.rstudio.com/
