RMD knitting issues

[Alexis79]

Hello

I am having issues trying to knit a specific portion of my RND file and was hoping to get some help or advice. This is my error code

processing file: SalinityData.Rmd Quitting from lines 31-38 [unnamed-chunk-1] (SalinityData.Rmd) Error in contrib.url(): ! trying to use CRAN without setting a mirror Backtrace: 1. utils::install.packages("chron") 2. utils::contrib.url(repos, "source") Execution halted

I've seen some code that I can attach to the install packages but I am super novice and don't want to mess anything up. Any advice would be super appreciated. Thank you!

A minimal reproducible example consists of the following items: A minimal dataset, necessary to reproduce the issue The minimal runnable code necessary to reproduce the issue, which can be run on the given dataset, and including the necessary information on the used packages. Let's quickly go over each one of these with examples: Minimal Dataset (Sample Data) You need to provide a data frame that is small enough to be (reasonably) pasted on a post, but big enough to reproduce your issue. Let's say, as an example, that you are working with the iris data frame head(iris) #> Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species #> 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.…

I learned that I needed to delete the install.packages line then hit knit in order for that error message to go away. Thank you so much!
