Hi, I am new to R and RStudio. I had it working fine, but then I started getting errors, and I reinstalled the programs (R v. 4.0 and RStudio v. 1.2.5042 and Rtools40), and now I can't install packages.
install.packages("pkgbuild")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/jorlova/Documents/R/win-library/4.0’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :

There is a binary version available but the source version is later:

The downloaded source packages are in
‘C:\Users\jorl\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpA73PT2\downloaded_packages’
It tells me to install different packages one by one, like "ps" above, so I have been re-installing them, and it's taking forever. With every installation I get the same multiple warnings ( unable to access index for repository & cannot open URL)
The downloaded source packages are always in the Temp folder - this is weird, too, right?
I tried reinstalling R and RStudio. What else can I try? I'd appreciate your suggestions!
