Not 100  certain that you have the same problem  but I found out the hard way that my job blocks each mirror site option that was offered and I was getting errors like this   Installing package into     usr lib64 R library     as    lib    is unspecified  --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Error in download file url  destfile   f  quiet   TRUE       unsupported URL scheme Warning  unable to access index for repository https   rweb crmda ku edu cran src contrib Warning message  package    ggplot2    is not available  for R version 3 2 2    Workaround  I am using CentOS      install packages  package name   dependencies TRUE  repos  http   cran rstudio com      I hope this saves someone hours of frustration

Most of the time  cer solution works but if in case its not working then try installing it in base R  NOT in R studio   As R studio runs base R executable in background so new package will be available in R studio as well   my experience in macOS
