Removing 'type=binary' worked for me.
install.packages(
'httr',
repos = "https://cran.rstudio.com/";
)
But I get an error when I select binary as type
---
install.packages(
'httr',
type = 'binary',
repos = "https://cran.rstudio.com/";
)
Error in install.packages : type 'binary' is not supported on this platform.
---
Same error for another package
---
install.packages(
'lme4',
type = 'binary',
repos = "https://cran.rstudio.com/";)
Error in install.packages : type 'binary' is not supported on this platform
