I uninstalled all versions of R on my computer and killed all R directories (I
think).
I am wondering that since I “upgraded” to Windows 10 is it possible that I
should create a user separate from the administrator account? My previous
version of Windows was 7 Home I think.
Here is a longer version of the error messages that I get.
> install.packages("sm")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/Administrator/My Documents/R/win-library/3.2’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---

2: package ‘sm’ is not available (for R version 3.2.2)
Thanks for your help,
