[R-meta] Fwd: Need help in installing the R package "metap"

[Im]

Hello!

I need help in installing a package ”metap” in R software for meta-analysis
of P values. I have tried most of the new R versions (4.1.1), alongwith
tried different computers also, but nothing is working. I am operating from
Finland and selected the “Set CRAN mirror” as Estonia, being nearer.



Please find attached screen image of the outputs when I try to download
“metap” in R.

I will be much grateful, if someone can suggest any solution or how to
contact the software experts in R.



Best regards,

Imran
