Cannot install packages on IOS

[Jargal]

Hello, I am a new R user. I am currently trying to install packages on my mac (macOS Mojave).

install.packages("class")
Warning in install.packages :
unable to access index for repository http://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/src/contrib:
cannot open URL 'http://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/src/contrib/PACKAGES'

package ‘class’ is not available (for R version 3.5.2)

Can anyone help me with this issue. Thanks in advance

Choose another repository, generally the closer geographically the better.

In RStudio: Tools | Global Options | Packages | CRAN mirror | Change

A list of repos is at https://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html

In R console Preferences | Startup | Default Cran Mirror

Try with Rstudio's CRAN repository

install.packages('class', repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')

If you still get this error message, check if your internet connection is behind a proxy server or firewall.

If your question's been answered (even by you!), would you mind choosing a solution? It helps other people see which questions still need help, or find solutions if they have similar problems. Here’s how to do it:

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
