Hi Experts!
I am trying my hand in R for first time. I tried first package not in R Studio but in R Console. I am getting the following warning messages.
Warning: unable to access index for repository https://mirror.niser.ac.in/cran/bin/windows/contrib/4.2:
cannot open URL 'https://mirror.niser.ac.in/cran/bin/windows/contrib/4.2/PACKAGES'
Warning message:
package ‘rafalib’ is not available for this version of R

A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere,
see the ideas at

Can you guide me the right way?

what does R.Version() return?

You might try switching to a different mirror. I cannot get an IP address for niser.ac.in, and attempts to visit their home page time out (server not found). Maybe they are having connectivity issues?

I find one of the URL available. Thanks for providing the insight. I took the availability for granted.
