installing ggplot2 in R.4.4

hello guys
i have faced this error for installing ggplot2 in rstudio 4.4

install.packages("ggplot2")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/Aarmaani/AppData/Local/R/win-library/4.4’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
trying URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/4.4/ggplot2_3.5.1.zip'
Warning in install.packages :

Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) :
cannot open URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/4.4/ggplot2_3.5.1.zip'
Warning in install.packages :

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ggplot2’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
there is no package called ‘R6’

I am not a Windows user but it looks like you should install {R6} and try again

install.packages("R6")
install.packages("ggplot2")

I think this is the actual error you have to solve - it seems that your local windows server is having issues with SSL connection to cran.rstudio.com. This can be triggered by general windows setup issues, firewalls, transparent proxies etc...

Do package installations work with other R versions on the same server ?
